2017 Vauxhall Adam 1.2L Petrol · CK67 OJR

The most recent MOT on 2026‑01‑22 recorded a failure at 33,964 miles, despite a simultaneous pass entry on the same date, indicating the vehicle is not currently roadworthy. Prior tests from September 2023 through February 2025 all returned passes with no defects, so the maintenance trend was stable until the latest result, which marks a clear worsening in the vehicle’s compliance status. Mileage accumulation has been modest for a nine‑year‑old car, averaging roughly 3,800 miles per year. The log shows a steady rise from 23,409 miles in September 2023 to 24,716 miles in February 2024, then to 29,470 miles in February 2025, and finally to 33,964 miles in January 2026. The 4,494‑mile increase between the February 2025 and January 2026 tests reflects a normal annual usage pattern rather than rapid wear, and the roughly yearly testing intervals provide a consistent monitoring record. Because the recent failure offers no defect detail, a prospective buyer should conduct a hands‑on inspection of the brake system for binding calipers, uneven disc wear or excessive pedal travel, and examine suspension components such as bushes, coil springs and shock absorbers for play or corrosion. The chassis and sill areas merit close scrutiny for rust or structural degradation, as low mileage does not guarantee freedom from age‑related corrosion. Tyre tread depth and sidewall condition should also be verified, and the buyer should request the full MOT certificate for the January 2026 test to understand the exact nature of the failure.
