2016 Vauxhall Adam 1.2L Petrol · CP16 CCV

The vehicle remains in a roadworthy condition with a stable maintenance trend over the last four years. The most recent test on 23 December 2025 at 31,941 miles secured a pass, though it introduced advisories regarding perished nearside and offside rear tyres. This indicates that while the mechanical and structural components are passing, the rubber components are showing signs of age-related degradation rather than wear. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,194 miles per year. Data shows a significant gap in usage between January 2022 at 24,651 miles and December 2022 at 30,057 miles, where the car covered over 5,000 miles in eleven months. Since then, usage has remained minimal, covering only 1,884 miles over three years. This low annual mileage suggests light use on the drivetrain and suspension, but it also increases the risk of fluid degradation and component failure from periods of inactivity. A buyer should physically inspect the tyres immediately, as the December 2025 advisory confirms the rubber is cracking or perishing despite potentially having sufficient depth. Because the car has sat for long periods, an inspection must check for brake caliper seizing or seized sliders, which often occur when vehicles are not driven regularly. The chassis should be examined for surface rust or corrosion, as low-mileage cars stored in damp environments can develop structural issues despite low mechanical wear.
