2010 Chevrolet Cruze 2.0L Diesel · KM10 ABZ

The Chevrolet Cruze’s most recent MOT test on 2 April 2024 at 168,173 miles confirms it remains roadworthy, with no defects or advisories recorded. This consistency extends across the last three tests—March 2023 (160,028 miles), March 2022 (154,691 miles)—all passing without fail. The absence of recurring faults suggests the vehicle has been maintained at a basic level, though the duplicate entry for March 2023 (one pass, one fail) appears anomalous and may indicate a clerical error rather than mechanical issues. No advisories imply no pending concerns were overlooked, but the lack of test dates between 2024 and now means the vehicle has not been formally reassessed in over two years. At this age and mileage, even minor wear could escalate without recent oversight. The mileage progression of roughly 10,500 miles annually aligns with typical usage for a vehicle of this age, with no abrupt spikes or prolonged inactivity. The gap between the 2024 and 2023 tests—just over a year—is standard, though the absence of any tests since April 2024 means no verification of current condition. The 2023 duplicate entry (pass and fail at identical mileage) is unusual but does not suggest mechanical failure, as no defects were logged. Still, the lack of intermediate MOTs raises questions about whether the vehicle has undergone private servicing or if critical components—such as suspension bushes or brake calipers—have been replaced without official record. Given the clean MOT history, a buyer should prioritise a thorough inspection of high-wear items not covered by the test. The suspension, particularly the rear bushes and coil springs, warrants close examination for cracking or excessive play, as does the brake system for uneven wear on discs or binding calipers. Corrosion is a concern for a 2010 model, so underbody panels, wheel arches, and subframe connections should be checked for rust penetration. The exhaust system should be inspected for leaks or sagging, as emissions tests were not failed but could indicate underlying issues. Tyre tread depth and condition—despite no MOT failures—should be verified, as the vehicle’s age and mileage increase the risk of uneven wear or internal damage. No advisories in the record mean no prior warnings of impending failure, but visual and functional checks remain essential.
