2014 Vauxhall Adam 1.4L Petrol · CX14 PXM

The 2014 Vauxhall Adam presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 25 February 2026 at 49,067 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the prior clean pass dated 20 February 2025 at 48,111 miles confirms the vehicle has cleared its last two examinations without advisories or faults. Recorded mileage sits at 49,067 against an approximate 12-year lifespan, equating to roughly 4,089 miles per year. The DVSA log shows tightly clustered annual readings: 47,046 miles on 26 February 2024, 47,047 the next day, 48,110 to 48,111 across the February 2025 retests, and 49,067 by February 2026. The two failed entries on 26 February 2024 and 20 February 2025 list no defects, indicating administrative or presentational rejections rather than mechanical faults, with immediate passes logged one day and same-day later respectively. Low annual use suggests light running, though prolonged standing periods remain plausible and warrant scrutiny of perishable components. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the age and the absence of recorded advisories that might otherwise mask wear. The clean history offers no flagged corrosion or exhaust emissions concerns, yet the sparse defect data provides limited insight into underlying structural integrity. Verify the bodywork and underbody for rust, check tyre sidewalls for cracking from low-mileage storage, and confirm the braking system is free of binding calipers before purchase. The record implies conscientious test compliance by prior keepers, but silent MOTs at this age do not substitute for a hands-on mechanical appraisal.
