CHEVROLET VOLT2013 · ELECTRICITY

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status following a clean pass on August 21, 2025 at 135,333 miles. The maintenance trend shows a reactive pattern rather than proactive care, as evidenced by the vehicle failing just one day prior to that most recent test due to dangerously thin nearside rear brake pads and non-conforming registration plates. While the immediate defects were rectified, the recurring nature of mechanical warnings suggests the owner only addresses components once they reach a failure threshold. The mileage accumulation is consistent with the vehicle's thirteen-year age, averaging approximately 10,400 miles per annum. Between August 2022 and August 2025, the car covered 20,402 miles, indicating a steady usage pattern. There are no significant gaps in the testing history, suggesting the vehicle has not sat stationary for long periods, though the high cumulative mileage of 135,333 miles places significant stress on the hybrid powertrain's rubber components and braking system. A buyer must focus their inspection on the drivetrain, as the drive shaft constant velocity boots were flagged as severely deteriorated in both 2023 and 2024. If these boots were not replaced alongside the brake repairs, grease ingress will likely lead to imminent CV joint failure. The record also shows a persistent issue with perishing tyres between 2022 and 2023, which indicates the rubber may be experiencing dry rot despite the annual mileage. Inspect all tyre sidewalls for cracking and check the current rear brake assembly for uneven wear to ensure the 2025 failure was fully resolved rather than merely patched.
