2010 Chevrolet Cruze 2.0L Diesel · SL10 UNV

The vehicle passed its most recent MOT test in July 2025 with 95,591 miles, despite exhibiting excessive exhaust smoke and worn front lower suspension arm pins or bushes. While this test result suggests the vehicle is currently roadworthy, the recurring faults with the front service brake binding and excessive exhaust smoke indicate a worsening maintenance trend over the past two years. The recorded mileage of 95,591 miles at 16 years old is remarkably low, suggesting the vehicle has been used lightly or has spent extended periods standing. The mileage accumulation rate of approximately 5,974 miles per year is below average for its age, which may imply that the vehicle has not been subjected to the typical wear and tear associated with regular use. However, the lack of mileage data between 2022 and 2024, with a gap of nearly two years, makes it difficult to accurately assess the vehicle's usage history. The MOT history reveals recurring faults with the front service brake binding, which has been present since the 2023 test and persisted through the 2024 and 2025 tests. The excessive exhaust smoke, first noted in 2025, is also a concern. Furthermore, the worn front lower suspension arm pins or bushes, identified in the 2025 test, may indicate a need for replacement or adjustment. In addition to these issues, the vehicle's history also includes a failed test in 2024 due to a leaking fuel filter and a non-functional offside front fog lamp. It is essential for a prospective buyer to inspect the vehicle's brake system, suspension, and exhaust components in person to assess the extent of these issues and determine the necessary repairs.
