2012 Chevrolet Cruze 1.6L Petrol · LR62 CMK

The most recent MOT from July 2025 resulted in a pass with only minor issues regarding a deteriorated registration plate and a child seat obstructing a belt inspection. This suggests the vehicle is currently in a roadworthy state. The mechanical history shows a concerning spike in failures during July 2023, where the car failed on three significant fronts: an ABS fault, an engine management warning light, and an emissions failure related to the Lambda reading. While these were resolved for the subsequent pass, they indicate a period where the vehicle's electronic and exhaust systems were compromised. There is a recurring pattern of tyre degradation. In 2022, the front tyres were worn and cracking, and by 2024, the rear tyres were noted as perishing or cracking. This suggests a tendency to run tyres beyond their prime or that the vehicle may have spent periods of time stationary, leading to rubber perish. The mileage of 90,269 over 14 years is typical for its age. This suggests the car has seen regular, moderate use rather than extreme hard use or prolonged neglect from standing, meaning wear on the drivetrain and suspension should be consistent with a standard 14-year-old vehicle. The overall condition trend appears to be improving.
