2014 Chevrolet Cruze 1.7L Diesel · EF63 XMH

The Chevrolet Cruze presents as roadworthy following its most recent MOT pass on 29 April 2025 at 82,696 miles, with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend is stable across the available history, as every pass and fail shows a clean sheet with no advisories or mechanical faults logged by testers. The April 2025 entry shows a fail and pass on the same day at identical mileage, which points to an administrative or documentation issue at the test centre rather than a mechanical defect on the vehicle. Recorded mileage sits at 82,696 against a 2014 build, averaging roughly 6,891 miles per year and in line with typical use for the age. The trail moves from 66,750 miles at the February 2023 test to 76,121 at the April 2024 fail, then 76,145 at the pass twelve days later, and finally 82,696 by April 2025. Gaps are moderate rather than extreme, with about 9,400 miles covered in the first interval and 6,550 in the second, suggesting steady private use rather than fleet or high-load driving. The DVSA record flags no recurring faults, advisories, or structural concerns across any test, so no pattern of suspension bushes, brake disc wear, corrosion, or exhaust issues emerges from the data. A same-day fail and pass with zero defects in April 2025 implies the initial failure was procedural, not a symptom of neglected upkeep. The clean sheets do indicate the previous keeper addressed test requirements promptly when raised. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity, underbody corrosion, and consumable items such as tyres and wiper blades, since MOT cleanliness does not certify component life remaining. Given the low annual mileage, check for deterioration from standing such as perished rubber or seized calipers. The history supports a sound baseline, but in-person verification of chassis and suspension remains prudent before purchase.
