CHEVROLET VOLT2013 · 1.4L HYBRID ELECTRIC

This Chevrolet Volt has covered 153,324 miles over thirteen years, which is a typical usage rate for its age. However, the MOT history reveals a persistent pattern of neglect regarding basic maintenance and safety-critical consumables. The vehicle’s condition appears to be in a state of stagnant decline. The most concerning trend is the recurring failure to address deteriorating brake discs and CV joint boots. The MOT history shows that brake discs have been flagged as pitted or scored consistently since 2023, suggesting that these components are being left to degrade rather than being replaced when they first show signs of wear. The drive shaft CV boot issue is particularly alarming. The offside front CV boot was flagged as severely deteriorated in 2023 and 2024, and by the November 2025 MOT, it had progressed to a detached state. Driving with a split or detached CV boot allows grit and moisture to destroy the constant velocity joint, which can lead to sudden mechanical failure and expensive drivetrain repairs. While the car passed its most recent MOT in November 2025, the advisory list remains extensive. You are looking at a vehicle that requires immediate investment in all four brake discs and potentially a new CV joint if the previous damage was left unaddressed for too long.
