VAUXHALL ADAM2018 · 1.2L PETROL

The vehicle presents a high standard of roadworthiness with a stable and consistent maintenance trend. The most recent test on 17 November 2025 at 36,103 miles resulted in a clean pass, indicating that the car currently meets all statutory safety requirements. This clean record across the last five inspections suggests a vehicle that has been well-maintained without recurring mechanical failures or structural degradations. The mileage pattern is notably low for an eight-year-old car, averaging approximately 4,500 miles per annum. There is a visible gap between February 2022 at 13,515 miles and November 2023 at 23,600 miles, where the car covered over 10,000 miles in roughly twenty months. Since then, usage has throttled significantly, with only 12,506 miles over the last two years. This low annual mileage generally reduces the wear on the drivetrain and suspension, though it can increase the risk of rubber components perished or brakes seizing during periods of inactivity. While the MOT record shows no historical defects or advisories, a buyer should physically inspect components prone to low-mileage storage issues. Check the brake discs for surface pitting or corrosion, which often occurs when a vehicle sits stationary for long periods. Examine the suspension bushes and tyre sidewalls for cracking, as the age of the rubber often outpaces the tread depth. Given the clean history, the structural integrity appears sound, but verifying the absence of fluid leaks or oil degradation remains essential to ensure the low-use profile has not masked underlying neglect.
