VAUXHALL ADAM2015 · 1.2L PETROL

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history reveals a worsening trend regarding structural and component corrosion. The most recent test on 5 June 2026 at 82,636 miles passed despite the presence of corrosion on the front sub-frame. This specific issue has appeared in every annual test since at least May 2024 at significantly lower mileage, indicating that while the component has not yet reached a point of structural failure, the oxidation is progressive and remains unaddressed. The mileage pattern is consistent with an eleven-year-old vehicle-city car, averaging approximately 7,500 miles per year. The data shows a steady usage rate, with 3,987 miles covered between May 2024 and May 2025, and another 4,148 miles between May 2025 and June 2026. This regular interval suggests the car is used consistently rather than sitting for long periods, which can sometimes accelerate the surface corrosion noted in the inspection records. A buyer must conduct a close inspection of the front sub-frame and lower suspension arms, as these were flagged for corrosion in May 2025. The record also shows a history of neglected consumables, evidenced by the 2023 failure for worn tyres, ineffective wipers, and a registration plate lamp. While the front brake discs were noted as pitted and scored in 2023 and 2025, the lack of a recent advisory in 2026 suggests they may have been replaced, though the current state of the pads and rotors requires physical verification.
