2010 Chevrolet Cruze 2.0L Diesel · YR59 CLV

The 2010 Chevrolet Cruze is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT on 12 January 2026 at 71,467 miles. The maintenance trend shows a mixed pattern, with the vehicle passing three of the last four tests but failing once in early 2024 due to a single tyre tread issue. While the overall condition appears stable, recurring suspension and tyre concerns suggest ongoing wear that may require attention in the near future. The recorded mileage of 71,467 miles over 16 years equates to approximately 4,467 miles per year, which is relatively low for a vehicle of this age. This suggests the car has likely seen gentle use, possibly with periods of inactivity, which could explain the low mileage accumulation. However, the MOT history reveals a notable gap between the January 2024 and January 2025 tests, during which the vehicle was not tested despite the mileage remaining unchanged. This lack of regular testing may mask potential issues that could have developed during that time. Key mechanical concerns include worn suspension bushes on both front and rear axles, which were noted in 2023 and again in 2026. Although these are not currently causing excessive movement, they may lead to handling issues or accelerated tyre wear over time. The nearside rear tyre has shown signs of cracking and wear in multiple tests, indicating either poor maintenance or alignment problems. Additionally, the offside front tyre failed in January 2024 due to tread depth, and the stop lamp issue in the latest test suggests minor electrical faults that should be addressed for safety and compliance. A buyer should inspect the suspension components, particularly the bushes and shock absorbers, and check for any signs of structural corrosion or rust, especially in the wheel arches and underbody.
