2017 Vauxhall Adam 1.2L Petrol · BF17 FJC

The vehicle presents a generally stable maintenance profile, though the most recent MOT test on 17 February 2026 shows a sudden emergence of several mechanical advisories. While the car passed the test at 29,102 miles, the tester flagged worn and pitted front brake discs alongside damaged dust covers on both nearside and offside track rod ends. The presence of corrosion on both front coil springs indicates that the vehicle is beginning to show age-related deterioration in its suspension components. The mileage history indicates very light usage for a 2017 model, averaging approximately 3,234 miles per year. The data shows a consistent, low-mileage pattern, with only 150 miles recorded between the February 2025 and February 2026 tests. This low annual distance explains the clean MOT results seen between 2021 and 2025, but it also suggests the car may spend significant periods stationary. Such usage patterns often lead to the surface corrosion and component degradation observed in the latest inspection. A prospective buyer should focus their physical inspection on the front suspension and braking system. The corroded coil springs and damaged track rod end dust covers will require attention to prevent more serious mechanical failure or steering inaccuracies. The pitted front brake discs should be checked for thickness and surface integrity to determine if a full disc and pad replacement is necessary. Although the 2020 test noted imbalanced rear brakes, the subsequent clean records suggest this was likely resolved, but the current front-end advisories represent a clear shift toward required maintenance.
