2017 Vauxhall Adam 1.2L Petrol · AF17 YSL

The Vauxhall Adam presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, confirmed by the most recent DVSA test on 7 May 2025 at 18,929 miles which recorded no defects. Prior tests in May 2024 at 18,206 miles and May 2023 at 17,084 miles also passed cleanly. The single failure on 26 May 2023 at 17,084 miles is anomalous; the record shows no defects listed and the vehicle passed later the same day, indicating a likely administrative or retest correction rather than a mechanical fault. The odometer shows 18,929 miles against a 2017 build, averaging roughly 2,100 miles per year. From the 2022 test at 13,893 miles to May 2025 at 18,929 miles the car covered only 5,036 miles across three years. Such low annual use suggests extended standing periods. The MOT data is sparse and clean with no advisories on tyres, brakes, suspension bushes, or corrosion across any entry, so wear on consumables cannot be quantified from the record alone. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of brake discs and calipers given the long idle intervals, as seized calipers and surface corrosion on discs commonly develop on low-use vehicles. The tester flagged no structural integrity concerns, yet standing storage accelerates underbody rust unseen in a pass certificate. Verify the 26 May 2023 failure reason via the full DVSA certificate, despite the zero-defect listing. Check tyre sidewalls for perishing from age rather than mileage, and confirm fluid intervals were kept despite the low recorded distances.
