2013 Chevrolet Volt 1.4L Hybrid electric (clean) · KE13 CXL

The vehicle currently presents a stable roadworthiness status, having passed its most recent MOT in April 2026 at 132,420 miles with no recorded defects. This follows a period of clean testing after several years of mechanical neglect. While the history shows a pattern of issues with lighting and braking components, the lack of advisories in the last three tests suggests that the current owner has addressed previous outstanding faults and maintained the vehicle to a passing standard. At 132,420 miles over 13 years, the car averages approximately 10,200 miles per year, which is consistent with typical UK usage for a passenger vehicle. The record shows a significant increase in activity between April 2021 and June 2022, where the vehicle covered over 14,000 miles in just fourteen months. Since then, mileage accumulation has slowed, with only 106 miles recorded between the December 2025 and April 2026 tests, indicating the car may currently be used sparingly or sits frequently. A buyer should pay close attention to the braking system, as the history reveals a recurring trend of pitted and scored discs. From 2022 through 2023, the tester consistently flagged worn brake discs and thin pads across multiple axles. While these were evidently replaced to achieve recent clean passes, a physical inspection is required to ensure no binding calipers or uneven wear has developed since the last service. The suspension also shows history of issues with movement in the Macpherson strut top bearings and play in the struts back in 2017 and 2021, which should be checked for any renewed knocking or lateral play. Electrical and lighting faults have been a persistent weak point, with failures related to dipped beam output, side repeaters, and inoperative lamps. The tyre pressure monitoring system was noted as faulty as far back as 2019 and 2021; the buyer should verify if this system is now functional or rectified. Given the previous split nearside front CV boot recorded in 2022, the drive shafts should be visually inspected for grease leaks or perished rubber to ensure the drivetrain has not suffered from debris ingress.
