2017 Vauxhall Adam 1.4L Petrol · DA17 BYW

The 2017 Vauxhall Adam presents a stable and clean roadworthiness profile. The most recent test on 23 May 2025 at 23,203 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken sequence of passes across every available MOT entry. The maintenance trend shows no worsening faults, advisories, or recurring mechanical concerns throughout the vehicle's recorded history. Annual mileage sits well below typical norms for a nine-year-old car. The record shows 6,157 miles at the November 2021 test, rising to 11,419 by November 2022, then 15,737 in October 2023, 17,997 in June 2024, and 23,203 by May 2025. That equates to roughly 2,578 miles per year. The gaps between tests are irregular rather than annual, with the 2023 and 2024 tests spaced only seven months apart, yet the odometer advanced modestly each time. Low, steady accumulation implies light use, though prolonged standing periods remain plausible and warrant scrutiny for perished seals or flat-spotted tyres. No tester ever flagged suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, binding calipers, corrosion, or exhaust emissions faults. The absence of advisories across five consecutive passes suggests the previous owner kept basic consumables within tolerance. A clean sheet offers no evidence of skipped upkeep such as repeated tyre-tread failures. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection beneath the sills and subframe for structural rust, given Vauxhall bodies of this era can corrode where road salt sits. Verify the brake discs and pads for lip wear from low-mileage dormancy, and check tyre sidewalls for cracking. Confirm the service history matches the low mileage, as MOT passes alone do not evidence oil changes or cam-belt intervals.
