2014 Vauxhall Adam 1.2L Petrol · AY64 WUO

This Vauxhall Adam has maintained a consistent MOT history with no defects recorded across all five tests, most recently passing on 25 June 2025 at 64,124 miles. The absence of advisories or failures suggests the vehicle has undergone regular, if not meticulous, servicing, though the record does not reveal whether pre-MOT maintenance was performed. The most recent test was conducted just over a year ago, which is within the acceptable window for a vehicle of this age, though approaching the upper limit of the 12-month MOT validity period. No recurring issues have been documented, indicating a stable mechanical condition—though this does not preclude hidden wear or deferred maintenance. The mileage progression of 5,344 miles annually is unusually low for a vehicle of this age, averaging just over 445 miles per month. This suggests either very light usage or prolonged periods of inactivity, which could impact fluid degradation, tyre condition, and suspension compliance. Notably, the gap between the 2022 and 2023 tests spans 12 months with only 6,356 miles logged, while the 2024 tests occurred within days of each other at nearly identical mileages (60,085 and 60,088), implying either a retest or a brief period of use before standing again. Such patterns may indicate the vehicle was not driven regularly, potentially accelerating wear on components like seals and hoses. Given the lack of MOT failures, a buyer should prioritise an independent inspection of suspension components—particularly the rear subframe mounts and bushings—given the vehicle’s age and mileage. The absence of advisories does not rule out degraded coil springs or worn track rod ends, which often go unnoticed until later stages. Brake discs and pads, while not flagged, should be checked for uneven wear or binding calipers, especially if the vehicle has been stood for extended periods. Corrosion at wheel arches, sills, and the subframe should also be examined, as rust can compromise structural integrity without immediate MOT consequences. Finally, fluid levels and condition—brakes, power steering, and engine oil—should be verified, as low mileage does not negate the need for periodic replacement.
