What to check on a used 2025 Chevrolet Corvette
Seats (8 complaints on the 2025): try every power and manual seat adjustment and the seat heaters if fitted.
Electrical system (4 complaints on the 2025): test every light, window, lock, the infotainment screen and the charging system, and have the car scanned for stored fault codes.
Service brakes (4 complaints on the 2025): check pedal feel, pulling and grinding, look at rotor and pad wear, and ask when the brake fluid was last changed.
Powertrain / transmission (4 complaints on the 2025): test-drive from cold through every gear and feel for slipping, harsh or delayed shifts and shudder; ask whether the transmission fluid has been serviced.
