2014 Vauxhall Adam 1.2L Petrol · DA14 CXY

The 2014 Vauxhall Adam demonstrates a stable roadworthiness trend, with the most recent MOT on 2025-10-20 at 68,500 miles recording a pass and no defects. The prior test in 2024-10-16 at 67,422 miles also passed without issues, suggesting consistent maintenance. A failure on 2024-10-11 at 67,419 miles was recorded but without specific defects, which may indicate a minor or unresolved issue addressed before the subsequent pass. The absence of recurring mechanical faults in the last three tests implies the vehicle has been well-maintained, though the 2024 failure warrants scrutiny for potential underlying concerns. The mileage of 68,500 miles at 12 years old equates to an average of 5,708 miles annually, significantly lower than typical usage. A notable gap exists between 2022-08-15 (60,524 miles) and 2023-09-06 (66,734 miles), reflecting a 6,210-mile increase in 13 months, which could signal intensified use or irregular servicing. Subsequent tests show gradual accumulation, with no major wear indicators. The sparse defect history suggests the vehicle has been lightly used, though low mileage may also correlate with periods of inactivity, potentially affecting components like battery life or fluid integrity. A buyer should inspect the suspension system for wear, particularly given the low mileage which might mask hidden issues, and check the exhaust for corrosion, as older vehicles often face this. The absence of brake-related defects in recent tests is reassuring, but a physical inspection of brake discs and calipers is advised to confirm no binding or uneven wear. Structural integrity should also be assessed, as rust or panel damage could be concealed. The vehicle’s maintenance record shows no critical failures, but the 2024 failure and low mileage pattern warrant a thorough pre-purchase check to confirm its mechanical soundness.
