2017 Vauxhall Adam 1.4L Petrol · B3 XGM

The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT certificate issued on 26 August 2025, confirming its roadworthiness status as of the most recent inspection. The maintenance trend remains stable, characterized by a clean pass record over the last three years. While the vehicle failed its initial test attempts in both 2024 and 2025, the absence of recorded defects suggests these were likely administrative issues or minor rectifications performed immediately on-site rather than systemic mechanical failures. The recorded mileage of 97,866 miles over a nine-year period averages approximately 10,874 miles per annum, which aligns with typical usage patterns for a vehicle of this age. The steady accumulation of miles indicates consistent use rather than prolonged periods of inactivity, which often lead to seized components or perished rubber seals. The lack of recurring advisories throughout this period suggests that previous owners have maintained the car to a functional standard, avoiding the accumulation of long-term neglected repairs. Prospective buyers should focus their physical inspection on high-wear consumables that may not be captured by the MOT testing process. Despite the clean history, the current mileage necessitates a thorough check of the suspension bushes, coil springs, and shock absorbers, as these components often reach the end of their service life at this stage. Examine the brake discs and pads for signs of scoring or thinning, and ensure the exhaust system remains free of corrosion. A detailed review of the service history is recommended to confirm that the timing chain or belt has been replaced in accordance with the manufacturer schedule, as this is a critical maintenance item not verified during the annual test.
