2014 Chevrolet Orlando 2.0L Diesel · KS51 ANT

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a consistent trend of deferred servicing regarding consumable components. The most recent test in April 2026 at 74,884 miles flagged thin front brake pads and multiple tyre defects, including a nail in the nearside front tyre. This continues a pattern seen over the previous three years where the owner consistently allowed brakes and rubber to reach their legal limits or significant wear points rather than performing preventative replacements. The mileage profile is remarkably consistent for a twelve-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,240 miles per year. Between the March 2022 test at 57,554 miles and the April 2026 test at 74,884 miles, the car covered 17,330 miles over four years. This low-intensity usage pattern generally suggests less wear and tear on the drivetrain and suspension, though the lack of recorded defects in 2022 suggests a period of better upkeep followed by the neglect observed in more recent inspections. A buyer should conduct a thorough inspection of the braking system, as the recurring failure for thin pads in four out of the last five tests suggests a potential issue with sticking calipers or simply a lack of proactive maintenance. The frequent mentions of tyres worn on the edges across multiple axles indicate a potential alignment issue or worn suspension bushes that remain unaddressed. While no structural corrosion has been flagged to date, the recurring nature of these mechanical faults suggests that the vehicle only receives attention when an MOT failure is imminent.
