2014 VAUXHALL ADAM1.2L PETROL

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status, having passed its most recent MOT test in September 2025 with no recorded defects. The maintenance trend appears remarkably stable, as the car has secured clean passes for the last four consecutive years. Although a failure was noted on the same day as the September 2025 pass, the immediate rectification suggests that any identified issues were minor and addressed promptly rather than representing a pattern of escalating mechanical neglect. The mileage pattern is consistent with a typical-use vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 8,500 miles per year. There was a notable increase in usage between December 2022 and October 2024, where the car covered over 23,000 miles in roughly twenty months, followed by a more moderate pace of about 13,000 miles in the final year. This steady accumulation indicates that the vehicle has been driven regularly, which is generally beneficial for engine seals and components compared to cars that undergo long periods of inactivity. While the digital history is clean of major advisories, a buyer should still perform a physical inspection of high-wear areas common to this model at this mileage. Given the 100,000-mile milestone, it is essential to verify the condition of the suspension bushes, shock combination, and rubber components, as these often age independently of a clean MOT. Additionally, checking for signs of structural corrosion on the underside and artwork arches is advisable, as the test history does not capture early-stage surface rust before it becomes a structural concern.
