2013 Vauxhall Adam 1.4L Petrol · CV63 EYL

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a trend of reactive rather than proactive mechanical care. While the most recent test in May 2026 at 84,022 miles was a pass, it highlighted immediate requirements for new rear tyres and a windscreen wiper blade. This follows a failure in May 2025 where a fractured coil spring and a perished ball joint dust cover were identified. Although these specific faults were rectified, the recurring appearance of suspension issues suggests that components are only addressed once they reach a point of failure. The mileage pattern remains consistent with a 13-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,500 miles per year. There is a notable gap of 4,121 miles between the October 2023 test and the May 2024 test, followed by a steady accumulation of roughly 4,500 to 5,400 miles annually through to June 2026. This relatively low annual mileage often leads to the premature degradation of rubber components and the corrosion of metal surfaces, which aligns with the findings of pitted brake discs in older records. A buyer must personally inspect the front suspension assembly, as the 2025 failure of the coil spring and the misting shock absorber indicate the front end is nearing the end of its service life. The structural integrity of the front subframe also warrants a close visual examination to ensure the previously corrosion has not progressed beyond surface-level. Furthermore, the recent advisory regarding uneven wear on the rear tyres and the previous report of scored front discs suggest that the braking system and alignment may require frequent monitoring to ensure optimal handling and safety.
