The Sinnis Cruise Star has an overall MOT pass rate of 69.2% across 442 real MOT tests — roughly in line with the UK average.
On the safety side, the most frequently flagged dangerous fault is valve stem seriously damaged. Dangerous faults cause an immediate MOT failure and mean the vehicle is not roadworthy until repaired. If you're viewing a Sinnis Cruise Star with an expired or recently passed MOT, ask the seller whether any dangerous faults were found and fixed during the last test.
A typical Sinnis Cruise Star owner drives around 437 miles per year. If the car you're looking at is significantly above this, expect more wear on suspension, brakes and tyres. If it's well below, the vehicle may have been sitting unused — check for perished rubber, corroded discs and stale fluids.
In terms of longevity, most Sinnis Cruise Star models stay on UK roads for around 12 years. If you're buying one that's already approaching that window, the data suggests it has plenty of life left provided it's been maintained.
Before committing to a purchase, we recommend running a full vehicle history check on the specific car. This will reveal any outstanding finance, stolen markers, write-off history and mileage discrepancies that the seller may not disclose — and that the MOT data alone can't tell you.
