2016 Vauxhall Adam 1.2L Petrol · BF66 MHJ

The Vauxhall Adam presents as roadworthy following its most recent DVSA test. The October 2025 examination at 28,344 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the maintenance trend across the available history is stable, showing no recurring advisories or mechanical faults. A prior failure logged on the same date carries no recorded defects, indicating an administrative or presentation issue at the testing station rather than a fault with the vehicle itself. The mileage pattern reflects exceptionally light use for a ten-year-old car. The record shows 24,467 miles in October 2023, rising to 26,478 by October 2024 and 28,344 by October 2025, an average annual accumulation of roughly 2,000 miles across the logged period. Such low yearly coverage suggests extended standing periods, though the clean test outcomes across three consecutive years imply the previous keeper maintained basic statutory compliance despite minimal driving. Given the absence of any flagged advisories on suspension bushes, brake discs, coil springs, exhaust emissions, or structural corrosion, the mechanical history offers no evidence of deferred upkeep on consumables or serious component wear. The identical mileage on the pass and fail entries of 21 October 2025 points to a retest on the same day, not a repair event. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of underbody condition and brake caliper freedom, as low-mileage cars left idle often develop surface corrosion or seized handbrake mechanisms not captured in a clean MOT. Verify the V5C and service book to confirm the standing periods were not accompanied by missed fluid changes, since the test record alone cannot evidence drivetrain care.
