2014 Vauxhall Adam 1.4L Petrol · D8 DGL

The 2014 Vauxhall Adam presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 10 January 2026 returned a pass with no defects recorded, though the same date also shows a failure entry carrying no listed defects, suggesting an administrative or procedural rejection rather than a mechanical fault. Prior tests in January 2025, January 2024, and January 2023 all passed cleanly, indicating the vehicle has cleared consecutive annual examinations without advisories for three years running. Mileage data remains too sparse to judge usage against the car's age. Only the 14 January 2023 test supplies a figure, showing 54,758 miles at that point. With no further odometer readings supplied across the 2024 to 2026 tests, we cannot confirm consistent annual accumulation or detect any abrupt gaps in coverage. The clean record across those later years implies routine presentation for testing, but the absence of mileage prevents assessment of consumable wear rates. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection despite the unblemished test history. The DVSA record flags no corrosion, suspension bushes, brake discs, or exhaust emission concerns across the examined period, yet MOT pass sheets do not capture worn tyres above the legal minimum or ageing coil springs until they breach limits. Verify the bodywork for structural rust at sills and subframes, and confirm brake caliper operation given the unexplained January 2026 failure line. Given the clean advisory history and stable pass pattern, previous keepers appear to have maintained statutory testing discipline. The lack of recorded defects suggests no neglected mechanical trends, though the missing mileage trail means in-person checks of clutch wear and steering joints remain prudent before purchase.
