2013 Vauxhall Adam 1.4L Petrol · CV63 ODY

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history reveals a period of significant structural failure and mechanical neglect. While it passed the most recent test in December 2025 at 83,321 miles, this followed a major failure just five days prior. The trend shows a transition from critical structural defects in 2023, where the car required a complete sub-frame replacement, to a state of monitoring corrosion and braking imbalances, suggesting that while the immediate safety risks were addressed, the overall mechanical condition remains fragile. The mileage pattern is consistent with a 13-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,400 miles per year. There is a notable gap of 5,253 miles between the November 2023 test at 72,713 miles and the November 2024 test at 77,966 miles, indicating steady annual use. However, the low mileage has not shielded the vehicle from severe environmental degradation, as evidenced by the recurring issues with rust-related failures on the sub- artwork and suspension components. A prospective buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the sub- Tracking and mounting points, as the 2025 record noted corrosion on the rear sub-frame despite the previous total replacement required in 2023. The braking system requires close attention; the offside rear brakes were flagged as imbalanced and the handbrake as low in both of the two most recent tests. Furthermore, the front suspension should be checked for further wear on the shock absorbers, which have been leaking oil since at least 2023, and the ball joints which were previously marked for imminent failure in late 2025.
