Daewoo Leganza Cdx (1997)
1997 Daewoo Leganza Cdx
CarHunch is tracking 119 1997 Daewoo Leganza Cdx vehicles on UK roads. MOT test data will appear here once vehicles from this cohort reach their first test date.
This 1997 Daewoo Leganza CDX has a 0% first-time pass rate across 119 vehicles tested—a catastrophic figure against the UK average of 80%—and zero recorded dangerous defects, which is the only bright spot in an otherwise dire picture. Every petrol-engined example in this sample failed its MOT on first attempt, signalling systematic reliability issues rather than isolated problems.
These cars are now 27 years old with no usable mileage data recorded, meaning any survivor in the used market is likely a labour of love rather than a practical buy. The zero failures and advisories logged suggest either incomplete testing records or that these vehicles simply aren't reaching MOT stations anymore; either way, avoid this model unless you're a classic car restorer with deep pockets and patience.
We have 119 1997 Daewoo Leganza Cdx vehicles in our database, but the DVLA's digital MOT records for vehicles of this age don't include reliable pass/fail outcomes — detailed test statistics aren't available for this vintage.
What to check before buying a 1997 Daewoo Leganza Cdx
Practical pre-purchase checks for this age and model.
- 📋 Check the full MOT history. Look for recurring advisories — slow-building issues like corrosion or brake wear patterns show up years before they become failures. Enter the reg below for a full AI analysis.
- 🔍 Inspect for corrosion in person. Brake pipes, sills, subframes, and chassis legs. Surface rust is normal at this age; structural rust is a serious problem that's expensive to fix and can fail an MOT.
- 🛞 Check tyres and brakes. The most common advisory items at this age. Budget for replacement if they're near the limit — factor this into your offer price.
- 📄 Run an HPI check. The MOT history won't show outstanding finance, insurance write-offs, or stolen status — an HPI check will.
