2012 Chevrolet Cruze 1.8L Petrol · LS12 FNV

The vehicle maintains a stable roadworthiness status based on the most recent inspection data. The MOT conducted on 28 March 2023 at 83,700 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects, indicating that the vehicle met minimum safety standards at that time. This follows a pattern of clean passes in 2022 and 2021, suggesting that the mechanical and structural components have not suffered catastrophic failures or recurring faults during the documented testing periods. The mileage profile is notably low for a fourteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,000 miles per year. There is a significant gap in usage between March 2021 at 53,702 miles and March 2022 at 72,981 miles, where the car covered nearly 20,000 miles in a single year. Usage slowed again again before the final test in early 2023. While low mileage generally reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine, periods of low use can lead to the degradation of rubber components, perished seals, and surface corrosion on brake discs due to lack of friction. A buyer should conduct a physical inspection focusing on the suspension and braking system, as the low mileage often masks age-related decay and seizing. Check for cracks in control arm bushes and signs of fluid leaks from shock absorbers. Inspect the underbody for structural rust on the sills and floor pans, given the last recorded test was over three years ago. The vehicle's current MOT status is expired and a fresh inspection is mandatory to ensure no new safety defects have developed since the 2023 entry.
