2012 Chevrolet Cruze 1.6L Petrol · LT12 FOF

The vehicle is currently in a roadworthy state based on the most recent MOT pass on 21 February 2025. The maintenance trend appears stable, as the car has passed its last three annual inspections without any recorded defects or advisories. While the record shows failures on 1 March 2023 and 20 February 2025, these were resolved within twenty four hours, suggesting minor issues that were rectified immediately to secure a pass. The mileage is consistent with the vehicle's age. It covered 1,878 miles between the March 2023 test at 139,274 miles and the February 2024 test at 141,152 miles. A further 2,809 miles were added by the February 2025 test at 143,961 miles. This indicates a steady, low-to-moderate usage pattern over the last three years, which typically reduces the risk of sudden mechanical fatigue compared to high-mileage commuters. The absence of advisories over several years is unusual for a fourteen year old vehicle with over 140,000 miles. A buyer should physically inspect the underbody for corrosion and check the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs, as these components often wear regardless of MOT outcomes. Given the age of the Chevrolet Cruze, checking for oil leaks around the engine bay and verifying the condition of the brake discs for pitting or thinning is advisable. The current MOT expires on 20 February 2026. Since today is 21 July 2026, the vehicle is currently operating without a valid MOT certificate. The buyer must prioritise a fresh inspection to identify any defects that have developed in the last five months.
