2014 Vauxhall Adam 1.4L Petrol · AB14 XAB

The 2014 Vauxhall Adam presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 15 May 2025 at 100,585 miles passed with no defects recorded, and the three prior passes show no advisories or faults. The vehicle has cleared every examination since a single failure in May 2023 that recorded no defects, indicating the rejection was administrative rather than mechanical. Mileage progression sits close to typical use for a twelve-year-old car. The record shows 74,729 miles at the July 2022 test, then 89,388 miles by May 2023, 95,363 miles in April 2024, and 100,585 miles in May 2025. That equates to roughly 8,400 miles per year, with no abrupt jumps or long dormant periods. The clean sweep of results across this span suggests the previous keeper kept basic servicing current. The May 2023 failure with zero defects listed points to a documentation or presentation issue at the testing station rather than a worn component. No tester ever flagged suspension bushes, brake discs, coil springs, exhaust emissions, or structural corrosion across the five entries. A buyer should still confirm in person that the underbody carries no hidden rust and that the braking system operates free of binding calipers, as MOTs do not strip components. Given the absence of recorded advisories, the Adam looks to have been maintained without neglected consumables. Inspect tyre tread depth and wiper condition at point of sale, since those wear items fall outside the snapshot. The history supports a sound purchase on mechanical grounds, subject to a standard pre-sale check.
