2014 Vauxhall Adam 1.4L Petrol · DA14 CYY

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, having passed its most recent MOT on 6 October 2025 at 79,539 miles. The maintenance trend appears consistent, as the car has avoided recorded defects across its recent successful tests. While the record shows immediate failures preceding the 2024 and 2025 passes, the lack of recorded defects on those failures suggests these were minor, easily rectifiable items such as a blown bulb or a minor sensor adjustment rather than systemic mechanical failure. The mileage pattern aligns with typical expectations for a twelve-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,600 miles per year. Between the October 2023 test at 70,028 miles and the October 2024 test at 74,551 miles, the car covered 4,523 miles, with another 4,988 miles recorded in the following year leading to the 2025 test. This consistent usage suggests regular operation which is generally beneficial for preventing seals degradation and brake caliper corrosion often associated with long periods of inactivity. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the suspension components and braking system, as the MOT history does not provide specific advisories regarding wear or structural rust. Given the age of the vehicle, check for perished rubber in control arm bushes and signs of thinning on the exhaust system. Although the record is clean of structural defects, a manual check of the underbody is necessary to ensure no surface corrosion has developed between the annual inspections.
