2010 Chevrolet Cruze 2.0L Diesel · CE10 ULR

The overall roadworthiness status is currently failing, with a clear trend of worsening maintenance issues that are not resolving. The most recent test on 2026-04-03 at 88,426 miles was passed, but this date is only 14 days away, indicating that the vehicle has not been tested since the previous inspection date. This gap of approximately two months suggests a significant lapse in maintenance, as the car has been driven for over 16 years with no official MOT recorded since the 2025-04-02 test. The failure on 2025-04-02 at 85,877 miles confirms that the vehicle has not been tested since the 2024-04-06 test, creating a substantial accumulation of unrecorded mileage and potential wear. The mileage pattern reveals that while the vehicle is approximately 16 years old, the accumulated miles are relatively low compared to the vehicle's age, which could indicate lighter daily use or long periods of inactivity. However, this low mileage does not guarantee a clean history; the data points to rapid mileage accumulation between the 2025-04-02 and 2026-04-03 tests. The gap between the 2025-04-02 and 2024-04-06 tests is particularly concerning, as the car has not been tested since the 2024-04-06 inspection, leaving a significant window of potential wear on suspension, brakes, and drivetrain components that was not addressed before. To assess the current roadworthiness, the buyer must inspect the vehicle for structural integrity and mechanical risks, specifically focusing on suspension components, brake discs, and exhaust emissions. The MOT record flags multiple instances of coil spring corrosion on both the front and rear, which is a serious sign of potential structural failure. Additionally, the 2025-04-02 test flagged an excessively worn rear bush on both sides, which is a critical structural issue that must be evaluated for the buyer. The 2026-04-03 test also flagged an offside front tire that is worn close to the legal limit, suggesting that the vehicle may need a full wheel alignment and replacement of worn tires. The 2025-04-02 test further confirmed a nail in the rear tire, which requires inspection for the buyer. Finally, the 2026-04-03 test flagged an oil leak on the front, which is a consumable issue that should be checked for the buyer.
