2012 Chevrolet Cruze 1.6L Petrol · LS12 FPP

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on the available history over the last several years. The most recent test conducted on 20 January 2023 at 90,772 miles passed with no defects or advisories recorded, indicating that the previous owner maintained the car to a functional standard at that time. However, as the current date is June 2026, the MOT is now over three years out of date, necessitating an immediate retest to verify the current safety and emissions status. The mileage pattern is consistent with low-mileage usage, averaging approximately 6,500 miles per annum. Between July 2019 at 72,210 miles and January 2023 at 90,772 miles, the vehicle covered 18,562 miles, showing a steady but modest progression. There is a notable gap between the January 2021 and January 2022 tests where the car only covered 4,306 miles, suggesting periods of low use or short-term storage. The lack of major mechanical failure in the records suggests the drivetrain and engine components have not been subjected to extreme stress. A buyer must account for the age of the vehicle despite the low mileage, as age-related degradation persists. While the records are clean of recurring structural rust, rubber components such as suspension bushes and tyre boots often perish over fourteen years regardless of distance driven. The failure on 12 January 2021 followed immediately by a pass suggests a specific issue was identified and rectified, but a physical inspection should focus on checking for corrosion on the chassis and the state of the brake calipers for seizing, which are common issues on vehicles that sit for extended periods.
