2013 Chevrolet Orlando 1.8L Petrol · SM13 AAK

The vehicle demonstrates stable roadworthiness with no defects recorded in its last three MOT tests, including the most recent 2025-11-13 inspection at 125,791 miles. All prior tests from 2022 to 2024 also passed without issues, indicating consistent maintenance. The single 2022-10-24 failure at 99,876 miles was noted but recorded as no defects, suggesting a possible administrative error or minor unresolved issue. No recurring mechanical faults or structural concerns are evident from the documented history. The mileage of 125,791 miles over 13 years aligns with an average of 9,676 miles annually, reflecting typical usage for the model. Gaps between MOT tests range from 10 to 14 months, consistent with standard intervals. Notably, the 2022-10-24 failure and subsequent 2022-10-25 pass at the same mileage raise questions about procedural accuracy, though no defects were logged. The absence of corrosion, exhaust emissions, or suspension-related issues in the record suggests the vehicle has not experienced significant wear in critical areas. A buyer should verify the condition of suspension components, particularly bushes and coil springs, given the age, and inspect brake discs for uneven wear, as these are common wear items. The lack of recorded advisories or failures on tyres, steering, or exhaust implies no immediate risks, but a physical inspection is recommended to confirm the absence of hidden damage or long-term neglect. The vehicle’s MOT history does not indicate systemic mechanical decline, but its 13-year lifespan warrants careful evaluation of hidden wear in high-mileage components.
