2013 Chevrolet Orlando 2.0L Diesel · SM13 JVL

The vehicle maintains a roadworthy status, though the maintenance trend shows a pattern of reactive rather than proactive care. The most recent test in February 2026 at 99,414 miles resulted in a pass after an initial failure for an inoperative reversing lamp. This represents a significant improvement over the February 2025 test, where the car failed on multiple points related to tyres and lighting, suggesting the current owner now addresses immediate safety failures once they are flagged. At 99,414 miles, this thirteen-year-old Chevrolet Orlando has averaged approximately 7,650 miles per year, which aligns with typical UK usage expectations for its age. The mileage record shows consistent movement, with roughly 10,700 miles covered between February 2024 and February 2025, and another 6,000 miles covered in the year leading to the latest test. This steady accumulation suggests the vehicle is used regularly, which generally helps prevent the degradation of internal seals and rubber components compared to long stationary periods. A buyer must pay close attention to the braking system and suspension during a physical inspection. The 2025 record flagged a long travel parking brake and corroded exhaust hangers, indicating that the mechanical linkage for the handbrake is reaching its limit and surface rust is present. The previous failure due to severe inner-edge tyre wear and exposed cords on the nears front tyres suggests a potential alignment issue or worn suspension bushes that should be verified to avoid premature tyre replacement. Additionally, the buyer should check the windscreen for the expansion of the previously noted chip from 2025.
