2012 Chevrolet Cruze 1.8L Petrol · LS12 FPC

The vehicle passed its most recent inspection on 8 March 2024 at 81,192 miles with zero defects recorded, indicating a stable mechanical condition at that time. However, the certificate expired over two years ago relative to the current date in June 2026, rendering the roadworthiness status currently unknown. The history shows a pattern of immediate retests following failures, yet none of these failures listed specific mechanical defects, suggesting administrative issues rather than structural or component failures. Mileage accumulation between March 2022 and March 2024 averaged approximately 10,000 miles annually, rising from 61,099 to 81,192 miles. This recent usage rate is higher than the vehicle’s lifetime average of roughly 5,800 miles per year. The consistent odometer progression across the test dates suggests the recorded mileage is genuine and reflects a car that has seen regular use in recent years rather than standing idle. With the MOT expired for over two years, a comprehensive pre-purchase inspection is essential to verify the current state of perishable components. Rubber parts such as suspension bushes and brake hoses may have deteriorated during this period of inactivity or unknown use. You should scrutinise the brake system for seized calipers or corroded discs and check the underbody for fresh structural corrosion, as the lack of recent testing leaves these age-related risks unchecked.
