2012 Chevrolet Cruze 1.7L Diesel · LR62 TWD

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent maintenance trend over the last three years. The most recent inspection conducted in August 2023 at 139,568 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects, indicating that the vehicle met all safety and emissions standards at that time. This follows similarly clean passes in 2022 and 2020, suggesting that major components have been managed effectively. The mileage accumulation is consistent with typical usage for a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 10,000 miles per annum. Between August 2020 at 100,005 miles and August 2023 at 139,568 miles, the car covered nearly 40,000 miles, showing a steady rate of use. There is a brief failure in August 2021 at 108,554 miles, but the immediate re-test pass on the same day suggests a minor issue that was rectified quickly rather than a systemic mechanical failure. Given that the last MOT was recorded nearly three years ago, a buyer must prioritise a fresh technical inspection to ensure no new issues have developed in the interim. The high mileage of nearly 140,000 miles necessitates a close examination of the suspension, specifically checking bushes and coil springs, which often perish at this interval. The buyer should also check for structural corrosion on the chassis and exhaust system, as these are common areas of degradation for this model that may not have been flagged in previous tests.
