2012 Chevrolet Orlando 2.0L Diesel · YP12 DFN

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, maintaining a clean MOT record over the last three years. The most recent test conducted on 15 October 2024 at 109,701 miles passed with no recorded defects or advisories, indicating that the car met all minimum safety and environmental standards. This consistency suggests that the previous owners have addressed necessary repairs as they arose, as the vehicle has avoided any failures since late 2021. The mileage accumulation is remarkably consistent for a 14-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,800 miles per year. Between October 2022 at 98,017 miles and October 2024 at 109,701 miles, the car covered roughly 11,684 miles, representing a steady pattern of use. The single failure recorded in September 2021 at 92,114 miles appears to be an isolated incident, as the vehicle passed its retest just three weeks later with only 154 miles added, suggesting a minor fault that was quickly rectified. While the digital history is clean, a buyer must perform a physical inspection of components prone to wear at this age and mileage. Given the 109,000-mile milestone, check for signs of degraded suspension bushes, perished shock absorbers, and worn coil springs which often do not flag until they reach structural failure. You should also inspect for surface corrosion on the sills and brake lines, as the MOT test only identifies structural rust once it reaches a threshold of integrity failure.
