2019 Vauxhall Adam 1.2L Petrol · AY69 XHG

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the MOT history reveals a trend of deferred maintenance on essential wear components. The most recent test in February 2026 at 41,302 miles shows a pass just five days after a failure for a non-functional indicator bulb. While the electrical fault was rectified, the tester still flagged multiple advisories regarding the front braking system and suspension that persisted from previous tests, suggesting the owner addresses only the minimum requirements to pass the inspection rather than performing proactive preventative repairs. At seven years old, the recorded mileage of 41,302 miles represents an average of approximately 5,900 miles per year. This low usage often correlates with less mechanical wear, yet it also explains the specific corrosion issues noted in the record. Between March 2024 and February 2026, the vehicle covered 12,159 miles, indicating consistent but low-intensity use. The presence of pitting and scoring on the brake discs across several years suggests the car may sit for long periods, allowing moisture to corrode the metal surfaces despite the low overall mileage. A buyer must pay close attention to the recurring front suspension and braking assembly. The record consistently flags worn Macpherson strut pins and bushes on both sides from 2023 through to 2026. While these did not yet result in excessive movement or a failure, the rubber components are nearing the end of their functional life. Furthermore, the front brake pads were noted as wearing thin in the February 2026 test, necessitating an immediate inspection to verify the thickness of the pads and the condition of the pitted discs to prevent further damage to the calipers.
