2014 Vauxhall Adam 1.2L Petrol · CV14 YDC

The Vauxhall Adam presents as roadworthy following its most recent MOT pass on 12 August 2025 at 87,067 miles, with the maintenance trend appearing stable across the recorded history. The August 2025 test recorded no defects, and prior passes in August 2024 at 76,743 miles and August 2023 at 64,330 miles also carried clean sheets. The two failure entries from 7 August 2025 at 81,065 miles and 8 August 2023 at 64,329 miles list no defects, indicating administrative or presentation issues at the test centre rather than mechanical faults. No recurring advisories for suspension bushes, brake discs, corrosion, or exhaust emissions appear in the data. Annual mileage averages around 7,256 miles against the car's 12-year life, a typical figure for the age. The record shows steady accumulation: 64,329 miles in August 2023, 76,743 by August 2024, and 87,067 by August 2025, equating to roughly 11,000 to 12,000 miles per year over the last two intervals. No standing periods or sudden jumps are evident. The sparse, clean history gives little cause for concern on wear patterns, though the absence of advisories means consumable condition was either sound or not separately noted by testers. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity and underbody corrosion, as MOT passes with zero advisories do not confirm absence of early-stage rust on sills or subframes. The brake system, coil springs, and suspension arms warrant hands-on checks for binding calipers or worn bushes despite no flags in the record. Given the two zero-defect failures, confirm with the seller whether the vehicle was presented with correct documentation and roadworthy presentation on those dates. The Adam's history implies a previous owner who maintained basic annual test compliance without neglect, though the lack of recorded advisories limits insight into intermittent faults. Treat the clean record as a positive baseline, but verify in-person condition before purchase.
