2022 Chevrolet Trailblazer 1.2L Petrol · AE71 CWG

The 2022 Chevrolet Trailblazer presents a stable and unblemished maintenance trend across its three recorded MOT tests. The most recent examination on 6 November 2025 at 22,612 miles passed with zero defects, continuing a clean record that stretches back to August 2023. No advisories, failures, or recurring mechanical concerns have been logged at any point during the vehicle's life. This pattern indicates consistent basic upkeep and no emerging structural or mechanical deterioration. The record is as clean as a buyer could reasonably hope for on a vehicle of this age. The mileage accumulation tells a story of very low usage. The car covered just 3,376 miles between the August 2023 test at 16,679 miles and the October 2024 test at 20,055 miles, then added only a further 2,557 miles by the November 2025 test. Over roughly four years, the annual average sits at approximately 5,653 miles, well below the typical UK annual figure of around 8,000 to 12,000 miles. The gap between the 2024 and 2025 tests is particularly narrow, suggesting the vehicle may have seen very light use or even spent extended periods stationary during that twelve-month window. Sparse mileage data between tests is not a concern here, as the record is complete with no missing entries and no anomalies in the odometer progression. Despite the clean MOT history, a buyer should still carry out a thorough in-person inspection focused on components that low-mileage use can quietly compromise. Tyres with good tread depth can still suffer sidewall cracking or flat-spotting from prolonged standing, so check the date codes on all four tyres and the spare. Brake discs and pads can develop surface corrosion and binding calipers from short trips that never reach full operating temperature. Suspension bushes and coil springs may show less wear than a high-mileage equivalent, but rubber components degrade with age regardless of mileage, so inspect for perishing and cracking. Exhaust emissions were never flagged, yet a vehicle doing very short journeys may have a catalytic converter that never reaches optimal operating temperature, potentially masking long-term efficiency issues. The structural integrity of the underbody warrants close attention, particularly given the possibility of long stationary periods. Check for surface corrosion on subframes, brake lines, and mounting points, as standing vehicles can trap moisture in areas that a regularly driven car would dry out. The absence of any MOT defects is genuinely encouraging, but it does not substitute for a physical inspection by a qualified mechanic, especially given the vehicle's low-use profile and the specific risks that pattern carries.
