2013 Chevrolet Orlando 2.0L Diesel · SY13 THV

This 2013 Chevrolet Orlando has a recorded mileage of 92,994, which is roughly typical for its age at about 7,150 miles per year. The most recent MOT, from December 2025, shows a pattern of worn consumables and minor electrical faults that were flagged at the same test. The vehicle failed its latest MOT with dangerously low front brake pads (less than 1.5 mm thick), a worn offside rear tyre on the inner edge, and multiple failed bulbs including the offside front position lamp and both registration plate lamps. All of these were rectified to pass the same day, but they indicate a pattern of maintenance being carried out reactively rather than proactively. Looking back, the 2025 test also revealed a serious nearside front shock absorber fluid leak, which was noted as a light misting in 2024. This suggests a worsening trend for the front suspension components. The rear brake pads were described as "wearing thin" in 2024, and the fronts were critically low in 2025, showing that brake wear is progressing as expected but was allowed to become severe. The mileage is consistent with typical use, so there is no strong signal of hard driving or prolonged standing. The recurring issues with bulbs and tyre edges point to a vehicle that has been used regularly but may have had some deferred maintenance on lighting and suspension. A buyer should first inspect the front shock absorbers for any signs of fluid leakage, as this has been a recurring concern.
