CHEVROLET VOLT2013 · ELECTRICITY

The vehicle remains roadworthy but the maintenance history shows a clear trend of developing mechanical wear and structural degradation. While the most recent test in March 2025 at 111,147 miles passed, it highlighted a persistent minor engine oil leak and emerging corrosion on the rear lower integral body structure. The transition from a clean record in 2022 and 2023 to multiple defects thereafter suggests the vehicle is entering a phase where components require more proactive attention. The mileage pattern is consistent with a 13-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,500 miles per year. The record shows steady usage between 95,944 miles in June 2021 and 111,147 miles in March 2025. This regular use suggests the car has not sat for long periods, which is generally beneficial for rubber seals and mechanical components, though the cumulative mileage over the vehicle's life explains the onset of the brake-related and corrosion-related issues noted in the later test entries. A buyer must prioritze the braking system and underbody integrity during a physical inspection. The March 2024 test flagged both rear brakes as binding and identified corroded hydraulic calipers. Although these were not listed again in the 2025 test, the history of corrosion indicates a high risk of future caliper failure or uneven pad and disc wear. Furthermore, the reported corrosion on the rear lower underbody area should be examined closely to ensure it does not progress to a point that compromises structural rigidity, as the tester noted it is currently not significantly reduced.
