CHEVROLET VOLT2013 · Electric

The most recent MOT from July 2025 was a pass, but it flagged that both front tyres are showing signs of cracking or perishing. This follows a recurring pattern of tyre-related issues, with previous records in 2022 and 2024 also noting tyre wear or degradation. The overall mechanical trend appears stable, as there are no recent major structural or engine-related failures. However, the repeated tyre issues suggest that maintenance on consumables may be reactive rather than proactive. The single instance of a fractured rear coil spring in March 2023 appears to be an isolated mechanical failure rather than a systemic issue. The mileage of 120,838 miles is typical for a vehicle of this age, averaging roughly 9,300 miles per year. This level of usage suggests the car has seen regular, moderate use, which is consistent with the age-related perishing of the tyre rubber. When inspecting the vehicle, your priority should be to check the condition of all four tyres for sidewall cracking and ensure the tread depth is sufficient. You should also inspect the suspension components, specifically the springs, to ensure there are no signs of wear following the previous spring failure.
