CHEVROLET VOLT2012 · ELECTRICITY

The most recent MOT from November 2025 shows a pass, but this was achieved only after a failure on the same day. The failure involved a headlamp aim that was too low, a tyre that was not fitted correctly, and a rear brake disc that was found to be worn, pitted, or scored. The overall condition trend appears to be worsening. While the vehicle had a clean pass in December 2024, the most recent inspection shows a regression with multiple defects appearing across lighting, tyres, and braking systems. There is also a recurring pattern of tyre issues, with previous MOTs in 2022 and 2024 noting tyres worn close to the legal limit. With roughly 5,904 miles driven per year, the mileage is low for a vehicle of this age. While lower mileage generally implies less mechanical wear, the pitting and scoring on the rear brake disc could be an indicator that the car has sat unused for extended periods, allowing corrosion to build up on the metal surfaces. When inspecting the car, you should first check the condition of the brake discs and pads to ensure any pitting or scoring has been addressed. You should also thoroughly check the tyres for correct fitting and even wear, and verify that the headlamp aim is properly adjusted.
