2012 Chevrolet Volt Electric · LF12 ANR

The vehicle is currently roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, having passed its most recent MOT on 11 September 2025 at 114,895 miles with no defects recorded. This clean result follows a period of consistent passes, suggesting that previous mechanical issues have been addressed or have not progressed to a critical stage. The mileage accumulation is typical for a 14 year old vehicle, averaging roughly 8,207 miles per year. The record shows a steady increase in usage, rising from 35,115 miles in May 2016 to the current 114,895 miles. There are no significant gaps in the testing history or erratic jumps in mileage that would suggest periods of neglect or sudden heavy commercial use. A buyer should focus on the front suspension and drivetrain components during a physical inspection. In November 2022 at 94,989 miles, the car failed on split constant velocity boots and worn Macpherson strut pins and bushes on both the nearside and offside. While the car passed shortly after, these are high-wear items that often deteriorate progressively. Verifying the current condition of the CV boots and strut mounts is essential to ensure these repairs were permanent and not temporary fixes. Attention should also be paid to the brake pedal and underbody protection. The tester flagged a smooth brake pedal as an advisory from November 2021 through November 2022, and the October 2024 test noted that under trays and covers prevented full access to all testable items. A thorough check for hidden corrosion or structural damage behind these covers is advised, as the restricted access in 2024 means certain chassis components may not have been fully inspected.
