2012 Chevrolet Cruze LTZ 1.8L Petrol · LS12 FSJ

The vehicle presents a high level of roadworthiness, evidenced by a clean MOT record over the last five years. The most recent test conducted in January 2026 at 92,852 miles resulted in no defects or advisories, mirroring the outcomes of previous inspections. This consistency suggests a stable maintenance trend where the previous owners have proactively addressed mechanical and structural requirements before they could trigger a failure during the testing process. The mileage pattern is consistent with a low-use vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 6,600 miles per annum. Between September 2021 at 68,771 miles and January 2026 at 92,852 miles, the car covered 24,081 miles, showing steady and predictable usage. There are no significant gaps of long inactivity that would typically suggest degradation of fluids or perished seals. The relatively low mileage relative to the fourteen-year age reduces the expected wear on drivetrain components and suspension bushings compared to high-mileage fleet examples. Despite the lack of recorded faults, a buyer should focus their physical inspection on areas common to the Chevrolet Cruze of this era. Check the chassis for signs of structural corrosion, particularly around the mounting points and sills, as the MOT only identifies rust that reaches structural concern. Inspect the braking system for binding calipers or uneven disc wear, as a clean record does not account for gradual deterioration between tests. Given the age, also verify the condition of rubber hoses and suspension arm components for cracking, which can occur due to time regardless of low mileage.
