2013 Chevrolet Orlando 2.0L Diesel · YR13 YRO

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a successful test on July 22, 2025. However, the maintenance trend shows a pattern of reactive rather than proactive care. The car failed just one day prior at the same mileage due to a fractured offside front coil spring and fully worn brake pads on both the front and offside rear. This indicates that the owner only addresses mechanical faults once they reach the MOT failure threshold rather than performing scheduled preventative maintenance. At 99,152 miles, the Orlando has averaged approximately 7,600 miles per year, which aligns with typical UK usage for a 13-year-old vehicle. There was a significant spike in usage between June 2023 (73,802 miles) and July 2024 (90,620 miles), where the vehicle covered over 17,000 miles in just twelve months. Since that period, mileage accumulation has slowed, with roughly 8,500 miles recorded in the final year. A buyer should conduct a close inspection of the braking system and suspension components, as these areas show recurring issues. The 2022 test already flagged thin rear inner brake pads and a deformed nearside tyre, while the 2025 failure confirmed total wear across multiple axles. Given the fractured coil spring, a physical inspection must check for signs of uneven wear on the tyres, shock absorbers, and bushings, as the history suggests that delays in replacing worn components may cause secondary stress on the suspension geometry.
