2011 Chevrolet Cruze 1.8L Petrol · YR61 YOX

The most recent MOT record is from March 2022, meaning the vehicle has no documented testing for over four years. This is a significant red flag for a buyer, as the current roadworthiness is unknown. The history reveals a worsening trend regarding structural and fluid integrity. While earlier tests were relatively clean, the 2022 inspection showed multiple failures including fractured and corroded coil springs, alongside a power steering leak. A previous oil leak was also noted in 2020. The mileage is very low for a 15-year-old car, averaging around 5,121 miles per year. While this suggests light use, the evidence of corrosion and broken springs suggests the vehicle may have suffered from periods of standing or exposure to harsh environments, which can degrade rubber components and metalwork. A buyer must first verify if the car has a current MOT and check for any recent service records. In person, prioritise a thorough inspection of the suspension for further corrosion, check for active oil or power steering leaks, and ensure the engine starts and runs smoothly after a long period of presumed inactivity.
