CHEVROLET VOLT2013 · ELECTRICITY

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance history indicates a shift from reactive repairs to stable operation. The most recent test in July 2021 at 85,088 miles resulted in no defects, suggesting that the mechanical issues identified in previous years were addressed. This marks an improving trend compared to the early 2020 period where multiple consumable-related failures were noted, indicating the car has maintained its condition since the last recorded inspection. The mileage pattern is consistent with a low-mileage usage profile, averaging approximately 6,500 miles per annum. There is a significant gap in data between the 2016 test at 39,080 miles and the 2018 test at 71,200 miles, representing an accumulation of over 32,000 miles in just two years. Since that period of activity, usage has slowed considerably, with only 13,888 miles covered over the following three years. This lower mileage reduces wear on the drivetrain but can lead to rubber degradation and fluid stagnation during long periods of standing. A buyer should specifically inspect the braking system and tyres, as the record shows a history of neglect. The 2020 test flagged pitted front brake discs and edge-worn tyres on both sides, while the 2018 test identified thin rear pads. While the car passed in 2021, a physical check for uneven pad wear or caliper corrosion is necessary. Given the age of the vehicle and the low annual mileage, a thorough inspection of suspension bushes and structural corrosion is also essential to ensure that components have not perished from lack of use.
