2012 Chevrolet Orlando 1.8L Petrol · SW61 FMX

The most recent MOT passed in December 2025, but it flagged several advisory items that indicate a growing list of maintenance requirements. A clear pattern of mechanical issues is emerging, specifically regarding oil leaks from both the engine and the gearbox. There is also a recurring and progressing issue with corrosion within the fuel system, which has moved from the fuel neck in 2024 to include the rear fuel pipes and the tank strap in 2025. The vehicle's condition trend is worsening. The MOT history shows a clean record in late 2023, but since then, the number and severity of advisories related to leaks and corrosion have increased significantly. With roughly 75,595 miles recorded over 14 years, this vehicle has been driven much less than average, at approximately 5,400 miles per year. While this low mileage may mean less wear on the drivetrain, it can also imply the car has spent long periods stationary, which may contribute to the observed corrosion in the fuel system and subframe. A buyer should first inspect the underside of the vehicle to check the severity of the subframe and fuel system corrosion. You should also look for active oil leaks under the engine and gearbox and check the remaining life on the brake discs and pads.
