Known faults for Chevrolet Chevrolet Trax
Our database tracks 2 specific mechanical faults and recurring failure patterns identified across UK MOT testing stations for this generation.
MOT Roadworthiness: Good

Verify lender finance agreements, insurance write-offs, police stolen registers, and mileage rollback.
Common Problems: CHEVROLET TRAX
Known issues reported by owners and MOT testers.
- 1.4 Turbo Coolant Leaks and Water Pump Failure(Moderate)
On 1.4-litre turbocharged Ecotec petrol models, the plastic water outlet manifold, thermostat housing, and water pump are prone to thermal fatigue and cracking. Under UK stop-start driving and thermal cycling, the composite plastic becomes brittle, developing hairline cracks that weep coolant. Furthermore, the internal mechanical seal and bearings in the water pump can degrade, causing coolant loss, sweet-smelling cabin fumes, and risking severe cylinder head gasket overheating.
- 1.7 VCDi Alternator and Vacuum Pump Oil Seal Leak(Serious)
The 1.7-litre VCDi diesel engine uses an alternator design that incorporates a rear-mounted mechanical vacuum pump to provide brake servo assistance. The internal oil seal between the pressurized engine lubrication gallery and the electrical alternator can fail over time, permitting engine oil to leak directly into the alternator windings. This leads to electrical short circuits, charging warning alerts, flat batteries, and degraded brake booster vacuum assist.
