2013 Chevrolet Cruze 1.7L Diesel · YS13 NWR

The most recent MOT passed in November 2025, but it highlights several areas of concern including a deteriorated registration plate, worn tyres, and pitted or scored brake discs. There is a consistent pattern of tyre-related issues appearing in almost every MOT since 2021, ranging from cracking and perishing to uneven wear. While the vehicle had a clean MOT in 2023, the overall condition trend looks to be worsening, as the most recent inspection has added brake disc wear to the existing tyre problems. The mileage of 90,609 is roughly typical for a 13-year-old vehicle, averaging about 6,970 miles per year. This suggests the car has seen regular, moderate use rather than being driven excessively or left sitting for long periods, though the history of perishing tyres can sometimes indicate periods of under-use. When inspecting the car in person, your first priority should be to check the condition of the brake discs and pads to see how much life is left in them. You must also thoroughly check the tread depth and age of all four tyres, and ensure the front registration plate is in good condition and easy to read.
