2017 VAUXHALL ADAM1.2L PETROL

The vehicle currently holds a clean bill of health with a valid MOT certificate expiring on 30 September 2026. The maintenance trend is positive, as the last three consecutive annual tests resulted in passes with zero recorded defects. This indicates that the vehicle has been well-maintained since the suspension failure rectified in late 2023, suggesting the current owner has addressed mechanical issues promptly rather than allowing them to compound. The recorded mileage of 41,619 miles over a nine-year lifespan averages approximately 4,600 miles per annum, which is significantly lower than the national average for a petrol hatchback. The consistency of the annual mileage accumulation between 2022 and 2025 suggests the car has seen regular, light usage rather than prolonged periods of inactivity. This steady pattern is preferable to long-term storage, which often leads to seized components or perished rubber seals. Prospective buyers should focus their physical inspection on the suspension components, specifically the front shock absorbers, which required replacement in October 2023. While the current record is clean, the age of the vehicle means that suspension bushes and strut mounts are likely original and may show signs of perishing or play upon close examination. Given the past advisory regarding tyre damage in 2022, check the inner and outer sidewalls of all four tyres for uneven wear patterns or cracking, as low-mileage vehicles often suffer from age-related rubber degradation even when tread depth remains within legal limits.
