2013 Chevrolet Cruze 1.6L Petrol · SM13 ABO

The Chevrolet Cruze presents as roadworthy following the most recent test on 11 November 2025 at 77,422 miles, where the tester issued a pass with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend is stable across the available history, with every annual examination from November 2023 through November 2025 returning clean results aside from paired fail and pass entries logged on the same day in both 2023 and 2025 that carried no recorded defects, indicating administrative re-tests rather than mechanical faults. The recorded mileage of 77,422 at the 2025 test equates to roughly 5,956 miles per year against a 13-year-old vehicle, confirming light use. The car covered only 6,518 miles between the 6 November 2023 test at 68,904 miles and the 7 November 2024 test at 75,189 miles, then added just 2,233 miles to the November 2025 figure. Such low annual accumulation suggests prolonged standing periods, though the sparse, defect-free record gives no evidence of skipped maintenance or deferred consumable replacement. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the age and likely static storage the low mileage implies. Standing vehicles commonly develop corroded brake calipers, flat-spotted tyres, and perished rubber components not captured in a clean MOT. The absence of advisories across all five entries means no structural integrity concerns or exhaust emissions failures were raised by the tester. Given the same-day fail and pass pairs on 6 November 2023 and 11 November 2025 with zero defects noted, the previous owner appears to have addressed any paperwork or presentation issues promptly. No recurring mechanical trend emerges from the data. The vehicle's history supports a low-risk purchase subject to a standard pre-sale mechanical check.
