2014 Vauxhall Adam 1.4L Petrol · AF14 URB

The Vauxhall Adam presents as roadworthy following the most recent test on 20 November 2025 at 138,775 miles, where the tester recorded no defects and issued a pass. The maintenance trend is stable across the available history, with four consecutive passes and a single administrative failure two days earlier at identical mileage showing no recorded defects. No worsening mechanical faults or recurring advisories appear in the DVSA data. Annual mileage sits at roughly 11,565 per year against the car's 2014 build, a typical figure for this age. The record moves from 120,461 miles on 3 January 2023 to 127,858 on 18 December 2023, then 133,884 on 22 November 2024, and 138,775 on the November 2025 tests. The step between the first two entries covers nearly 7,400 miles in under twelve months, after which yearly use settles to around 6,000. The clean sheet across all dates suggests previous owners kept the car to a basic pass standard with no flagged wear on tyres, brakes, suspension bushes, or structure. The 18 November 2025 failure at 138,775 miles with no defects listed points to a paperwork or identification issue rather than a mechanical fault, corrected by the pass on the 20th. Buyers should still confirm the V5C and test certificate match, since a nil-defect fail is unusual and may reflect a tester error or late correction. Given the sparse but clean record, a physical inspection should focus on usual high-mileage wear not captured by MOT pass criteria: check brake disc thickness, coil spring condition, and underbody corrosion. The Adam shows no advisories for exhaust emissions or binding calipers, yet standing moisture at 138k miles can hide structural rust the annual test missed.
