2021 Chevrolet GMC Traverse 3.6L Petrol · AE70 FVG

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a successful MOT test on August 28, 2025. However, the record reveals a period of reactive maintenance rather than proactive care. The car failed the test just one day prior at the same mileage due to a multitude of lighting and tyre defects. While the subsequent pass indicates these issues were rectified, the history suggests the previous owner only addressed faults when forced by a test failure rather than performing regular preventative inspections. At 37,795 miles over five years, the Traverse has averaged approximately 7,500 miles per annum. This figure aligns with typical UK usage patterns for a large SUV, suggesting the vehicle has not been subjected to excessive high-mile stress. The gap between the 2025 test and the current date means the vehicle has not undergone a formal inspection in nearly a year, which could mask undetected degradation of rubber components or fluid leaks despite the low overall mileage. A prospective buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the tyres and lighting. The 2025 failure flagged the offside rear tyre as below the legal 1.6mm limit and other tyres as worn on the edges, which often indicates poor alignment settings or worn suspension bushes. The missing rear fog lamp and switch also point to previous neglect of basic exterior trim and electrical components. Verify that all indicator bulbs function correctly and check the current tyre set for uneven wear patterns to ensure the underlying suspension issues were properly resolved.
