VAUXHALL ADAM2018 · 1.4L Petrol

The 2018 Vauxhall Adam presents a clean roadworthiness status with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 20 August 2025 at 40,272 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken sequence of passes since the earliest available entry. No advisories or mechanical faults appear across the full history, indicating the vehicle has not required rectification work at any point in the recorded period. Annual mileage remains low for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging roughly 5,034 miles per year against the 40,272 miles recorded to date. The test on 23 August 2022 at 19,999 miles and the following year's entry on 27 August 2021 at 19,872 miles show only 127 miles added in twelve months, suggesting the car stood idle for extended periods. From August 2022 onward the accumulation stays modest, with 11,559 miles added over the three subsequent tests. The DVSA data is sparse in faults but consistent, showing no gaps in testing and no sudden high-use spikes. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the low and intermittent use, as standing vehicles often develop perished rubber components and surface corrosion unseen by the MOT tester. The absence of recorded advisories does not exempt the car from checks on underbody structural integrity and exhaust emissions systems. Given the clean record, previous owners appear to have kept the Adam to a light-use schedule with basic statutory compliance met each year. The lack of any flagged binding calipers, worn tyres, or failed lighting suggests routine care rather than deferred maintenance, though physical verification of consumable condition remains prudent before purchase.
