Our Verdict

Approach this 2013 Chevrolet Cruze diesel with caution due to a recent MOT failure and recurring advisories. It is roadworthy as of July 2026 but needs prompt attention to brakes and oil leaks.

Before buying, verify the service history covers the 1.7 diesel engine's timing belt and oil changes, as the 2024 and 2026 MOTs note non-excessive oil leaks that could worsen without maintenance. Negotiate on price to reflect the recent failure and the need for new rear brake components and a stop lamp repair, which were flagged days before the pass. For this model, check for general Chevrolet Cruze diesel weaknesses such as turbo and DPF condition, though no aggregate data is available to confirm patterns.
