2013 Chevrolet Cruze 1.6L Petrol · GU13 AYJ

The 2013 Chevrolet Cruze presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 25 September 2025 at 57,823 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the three prior annual tests from 2022 to 2024 also passed clean. The only blemish is a failed test on 29 September 2023 at 52,743 miles, immediately retested the same day at 52,745 miles and passed with no defects listed, indicating a clerical or non-mechanical rejection rather than a genuine fault. Recorded mileage sits at 57,823 against an approximate 13-year age, averaging 4,448 miles per year, which is low. The trail shows 47,072 miles on 2 March 2022, then 52,745 miles by 29 September 2023, 56,171 miles on 20 September 2024, and 57,823 on 25 September 2025. The 18-month gap between the 2022 and 2023 entries is the longest interval, but annual increments of roughly 3,400 to 4,400 miles confirm light, consistent use with no rapid accumulation. The sparse, clean record suggests the previous keeper kept basic upkeep current without deferred consumable neglect. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the vehicle's age and low standing mileage, as prolonged inactivity can accelerate corrosion and seizing of calipers. The MOT history flags no advisories on exhaust emissions, structural integrity, or tyre condition, so no recurring mechanical trend demands correction. Verify underneath for rust on subframes and check that the 2023 same-day fail was administrative, not a suppressed defect.
