Our Verdict

Approach with caution but this 2013 Chevrolet Cruze is not a bad buy if priced fairly. The low mileage for its age is a plus, though a past MOT failure and recurring minor leaks need scrutiny.

When viewing this Cruze, prioritise evidence that the July 2023 MOT failure was properly fixed — ask for the repair invoice showing the nearside front coil spring and lambda/emissions work. Confirm the car has a consistent service history, as no model reliability stats exist to fall back on and Chevrolet's UK dealer network has shrunk since the brand's 2015 exit, making main-agent records valuable. Use the noted oil leak and exhaust flexi leak as negotiation points; even if minor, they signal upcoming maintenance on a 13-year-old car.
