The CHEVROLET CRUZE (2009-15) 5DR HATCHBACK 1.7 VCDI DPF SS 130 EU5 LTZ 6SPD is a practical, five-door family hatchback, offering more space and presence than a small city car without moving into SUV territory. In the UK used-car market, it is an affordable alternative to mainstream rivals such as the Ford Focus and Vauxhall Astra. mycarcheck.com has recorded 53 checks covering 23 distinct VINs, offering a useful snapshot rather than a full picture of every car. The average private-sale valuation is £2,500, with recorded mileage averaging 99,000 and annual use around 9,000 miles. Cars checked had about 2.4 previous keepers on average. Its 1.7-litre diesel suits commuters and families wanting motorway comfort, useful boot space and fewer fuel stops; LTZ trim brings an upmarket feel. Against Focus and Astra rivals, the Cruze offers distinctive styling and value, but check service history carefully, especially on higher-mileage examples, before you buy.
