2012 Chevrolet Cruze 1.6L Petrol · GV12 AXS

The vehicle currently maintains a roadworthy status with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent inspection conducted in April 2026 at 62,914 miles resulted in a clean pass, indicating that previous mechanical concerns have been addressed. While the car failed in April 2025 due to a perished offside front anti-roll bar ball joint dust cover, the immediate pass upon re-test suggests the owner is responsive to safety-critical defects. The mileage profile is notably low for a 14-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,500 miles per year. The data shows consistent, low-interval usage moving from 58,785 miles in April 2023 to 62,914 miles in April 2026. This low annual mileage suggests less wear on the drivetrain and engine components compared to average examples, though long periods of inactivity can sometimes lead to rubber degradation or brake caliper corrosion which are not always fully captured by mileage figures alone. A physical inspection should focus on the front suspension assembly, as the anti-roll bar ball joint has already shown a point of wear failure. The buyer should check the condition of the rubber bushes and coil springs for signs of perishing or cracking given the vehicle's age. Additionally, while the 2023 advisory regarding the deteriorated registration plate was minor, a check of all exterior plastics and underbody is advisable to ensure that the low mileage has not masked underlying structural corrosion or environmental-related component aging.
