Our Verdict

This 2012 Chevrolet Cruze requires careful inspection due to multiple MOT failures, particularly suspension and braking issues. While the recent MOT shows improvement, potential buyers should factor in repair costs and reliability concerns.

Prioritise a thorough mechanical inspection of the suspension system, focusing on the nearside rear coil spring (noted in 2021 and 2019 MOTs). Check brake components, as thin pads and worn discs were recorded in 2019. Verify service history for repairs related to these issues. Negotiate the price to account for potential repair costs. Be wary of the vehicle's high mileage and lack of reliability data for this specific model.
