The CHEVROLET CRUZE (2009-15) 5DR STATION WAGON 1.7 VCDI DPF SS 130 EU5 LTZ 6SPD is a compact family estate, offering more boot space than the Cruze hatchback without the bulk of an SUV. It competes with used Ford Focus and Vauxhall Astra estates. Its diesel engine and six-speed manual suit commuters and families covering longer trips, while the wagon body helps with school runs, holidays and bulky shopping. LTZ versions feel better equipped than entry-level models. Though less fashionable than crossovers, the Cruze offers practical space at an appealing used-car price. mycarcheck.com records 93 checks across 43 distinct VINs. Average mileage is 92,000, with 9,000 miles annually and around 2.4 previous keepers. The average valuation is £2,600. These figures suggest an affordable estate, but age makes condition, service records and checks important. Compared with Focus and Astra rivals, the Chevrolet Cruze is less common; review its history before buying.
