Buying Tips for the 2012 Chevrolet Volt

  • Test drive the car to ensure the transition between battery power and the petrol range-extender generator is smooth and seamless.
  • Check the dashboard for the "Service High Voltage System" message, a known issue often requiring a software update or coolant level sensor fix.
  • Verify the health of the 12V auxiliary battery; a failing 12V battery can cause a cascade of bizarre electrical faults.
  • Ensure the charging cable locks securely into the port and the car accepts a charge without error messages.
  • Check the condition of the low-slung front rubber air dam, which scrapes easily on UK speed bumps.
