Known faults for Chevrolet Orlando
Our database tracks 4 specific mechanical faults and recurring failure patterns identified across UK MOT testing stations for this generation.
MOT Roadworthiness: Below Average
This rating reflects historical MOT pass rates and recurring advisory wear patterns from official DVSA test logs. Note that roadworthiness does not verify outstanding finance, insurance write-offs, or stolen records.
Verify lender finance agreements, insurance write-offs, police stolen registers, and mileage rollback.
Common Problems: CHEVROLET ORLANDO
Known issues reported by owners and MOT testers.
- Automatic Gearbox (6T40/6T45) Failure(Serious)
The 6-speed automatic can suffer from internal "wave plate" failure or solenoid issues if the fluid is not changed regularly.
- Cooling System and Thermostat Issues(Moderate)
Like the Cruze, the Orlando suffers from thermostat housing failures and water pump leaks. The plastic housing can crack and cause coolant loss.
- Rear Coil Spring Fracture and Corrosion(Moderate)
The Orlando's rear coil springs corrode and can fracture, particularly on seven-seat MPVs regularly loaded with passengers or luggage and used on salted winter roads. A broken or badly corroded spring alters ride height, knocks over bumps and is an immediate MOT failure. DVSA MOT data for the Orlando lists coil-spring defects among its recurring failure reasons, and the MPV's weight accelerates spring fatigue.
- Engine Oil Leak and Warning Lamp Faults(Moderate)
DVSA MOT data for the Orlando shows oil leaks and engine warning-lamp faults among its recurring issues. An oil leak from the engine or gearbox leaves drips on the driveway and can run the oil level low, while an illuminated engine warning lamp at the MOT is an automatic failure. Both point to leaking seals or gaskets, or poor maintenance, that should be investigated before purchase.
