CHEVROLET VOLT2012 · ELECTRICITY

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clear trend of improvement following a problematic period. The most recent test in September 2025 at 114,895 miles resulted in no defects, indicating that the previous mechanical issues have been addressed. This follows a clean pass in November 2023 and another in October 2024, suggesting the car is currently being maintained to a good standard despite its age history. At a recorded 114,895 miles, the car averages approximately 8,200 miles per year, which aligns with typical usage for a fourteen-year-old vehicle. The mileage data shows consistent annual use with intervals of roughly 6,000 to 10,000 miles between tests. This regularity suggests the vehicle has not suffered from long periods of stagnation-related corrosion, though the October 2024 entry noted that undertrays and covers prevented the tester from accessing all testable items, which limits the certainty of the lower chassis's structural integrity state during that specific inspection. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the front suspension and drivetrain, given the faults recorded in November 2022. The Macpherson strut pins and bushes on both sides were previously flagged as worn, and the nearside front drive shaft CV boot was deteriorated and split. While these passed in subsequent tests, a physical check should look for grease leakage from the boots or play in the suspension to ensure repairs were thorough. The brake pedal was also noted as wearing smooth in 2022, which is a wear item, but the overall condition of the braking system linkage should be verified during a test drive.
