CHEVROLET VOLT2013 · ELECTRICITY

The most critical concern is that this vehicle has no recorded MOT history since July 2021. Given today's date in 2026, the car has been off the road or untested for nearly five years, which suggests a significant period of standing or neglect. The mechanical trend was worsening leading up to the last recorded test. While earlier entries showed minor advisories for pitted brake discs, the 2021 failure was severe. It involved split constant velocity boots on both front drive shafts, illegal tyre tread, and excessively fluctuating service brakes. This indicates a shift from general wear to a lack of basic maintenance. The recorded mileage of 125,811 is typical for a 13-year-old vehicle, suggesting average use over its lifetime. However, the total lack of mileage growth and testing since 2021 is a major red flag. Long periods of inactivity can lead to seized brake calipers, perished rubber components, and battery degradation. There is a recurring pattern of brake and tyre neglect.
