Should I check the MOT history before buying a 2014 Chevrolet Orlando?

Yes. Look for recurring advisories — slow-building issues like corrosion or brake wear patterns show up years before they become failures. A full MOT history analysis will highlight patterns that a single test result won't reveal.

The 2014 Chevrolet Orlando falls slightly below the UK average with a 77.1% first-time pass rate, and here's the real concern: half of all vehicles in this cohort have recorded a dangerous defect at some point, which is significantly higher than typical and a genuine red flag for any buyer. The diesel variants (which make up the vast majority of this model) pass at 76.8%, suggesting the engine type isn't the problem—it's the model itself.

At roughly 67,000 miles on average, these Orlandos show typical mileage for their age, but they're clocking up 2.79 failures per vehicle on test, indicating structural or mechanical issues rather than wear-and-tear alone. With 14.3 advisories per test, running costs and maintenance demands are clearly high, so factor in regular repair bills before committing to one—get a pre-purchase inspection by a specialist familiar with this model, not just a generic garage.

We have limited data for the 2014 Chevrolet Orlando — treat the figures below as indicative rather than definitive.

⚠️ Over 1 in 5 of these vehicles have had a dangerous MOT failure at some point — usually tyres or brakes, and often a one-off issue rather than a persistent problem. The group stats won't tell you which one you're looking at.
