2012 Chevrolet Orlando 1.8L Petrol · GV12 AXF

The vehicle's current roadworthiness status is poor , and the maintenance history indicates a worsening trend rather than a stable one. While the 2026-05-01 test passed with 56,605 miles, the 2026-04-30 failure occurred on the same date, suggesting a rapid acceleration of wear or a lack of proactive maintenance between the two tests. The most recent test on 2026-06-18 was conducted on a vehicle that has only had a single MOT record since the 2026-05-01 test, leaving no data to verify whether the condition improved or deteriorated over the intervening period. Regarding the mileage pattern, the vehicle has experienced rapid accumulation of miles, averaging approximately 4,043 miles per year. This rate is low for a 2012 model, which typically requires a minimum of 2,500–3,000 miles per year. The gap between the 2026-05-01 and 2026-04-30 tests is negligible, indicating that the vehicle has not been driven for an extended duration or that the mileage has not been tracked consistently. However, the 2025-04-29 test on 52,136 miles is significantly lower than the 2026-05-01 record, suggesting that the vehicle has been driven less frequently since the 2026-05-01 test and has not accumulated sufficient miles to reach the 2026-04-30 mark. Given the recurring faults and the worsening trend, the buyer must inspect the vehicle's suspension, brakes, and exhaust system in person. The 2026-04-30 failure was caused by a Lambda reading after 2nd fast idle outside specified limits (8.2.1.2 (c)), which is a critical brake and exhaust component. The 2026-05-01 test also flagged a stone chip on the front screen, a structural integrity issue that requires replacement. The 2025-04-29 failure highlighted a minor leak of exhaust gases DOWNPIPE (6.1.2 (a)) and a loose downpipe mesh (8.1.1 (b) (i)), both of which are serious structural risks that must be addressed immediately. The 2026-06-18 test passed with only a rear registration plate deterioration and minor tyre wear, but the lack of a 2026-05-01 record means these issues remain unresolved and the vehicle is not roadworthy.
