CHEVROLET CRUZE2012 · 1.8L PETROL

The Chevrolet Cruze passed its most recent MOT on 8 July 2026 at 101,152 miles, and the maintenance trend across the five-year record is broadly stable with no test failures. Recurring advisories show minor consumable wear and a persistent but contained oil leak rather than escalating structural or mechanical defects. The latest test flagged front brake pads wearing thin on both sides and a non-excessive oil leak, consistent with patterns seen in earlier years. The recorded mileage rose from 70,691 in August 2022 to 101,152 by July 2026, an average of roughly 7,600 miles per year against a 14-year life of about 7,225 annually, so usage sits near typical for the age. The gaps between tests are regular at roughly twelve months with no missing entries or sudden accumulation spikes. The 2022 to 2023 jump of 7,279 miles and the 2025 to 2026 span of 5,754 miles both fall within normal private-use bounds. A buyer should inspect the engine underside for the oil leak traced at every test since 2022, confirming it has not advanced beyond the stated non-excessive level on the sump or rocker cover. Front brake discs and calipers need checking where the pads now read thin, and the rear brake pads noted worn in 2024 should be measured for remaining friction. Suspension shows only light front shock misting in 2024 with no corrosion or bush failure since, so road-test for any dampness or ride degradation. Tyre history shows rear inner edge wear in 2025 and front outer edge wear in 2023, with sidewall cracking on the offside rear across 2022 and 2023, so verify current tread and sidewall condition all round. The discoloured rear indicators in 2025 are trivial but worth a visual confirm. No structural advisories appear in the record, leaving the chassis integrity uncompromised on paper.
