VAUXHALL ADAM2018 · 1.2L Petrol

The 2018 Vauxhall Adam exhibits a stable roadworthiness record, with no defects recorded in its most recent MOT on 2025-05-29 at 40,803 miles. All prior tests from 2021 to 2025 also passed without issues, indicating consistent maintenance and no emerging mechanical concerns. The vehicle’s absence of advisories or failures across seven consecutive annual inspections suggests a well-kept example, with no evidence of recurring faults or deteriorating components. The mileage of 40,803 miles over eight years equates to approximately 5,100 miles annually, significantly below the UK average for this age group. This low usage aligns with the clean MOT history, though it raises questions about potential storage conditions or infrequent operation. Notably, the 2022-08-15 test at 22,494 miles showed a 5,173-mile increase from the 2021-08-19 test, suggesting periods of minimal activity. The lack of rapid mileage spikes or gaps in testing implies the vehicle has likely been driven sparingly, reducing wear on consumables but not eliminating the need for a thorough physical inspection. A buyer should prioritise checking the suspension system for aged bushes or coil springs, as low-mileage vehicles can develop stiffness or corrosion in these areas. The brake system, particularly rear calipers and discs, warrants scrutiny for binding or uneven wear, as even infrequent use may lead to seized components. Additionally, the exhaust system and bodyshell should be examined for hidden rust, as prolonged inactivity can accelerate corrosion. While the MOT data confirms no active faults, these areas remain critical for assessing long-term reliability.
