2018 Vauxhall Adam 1.2L Petrol · DA68 NTJ

The vehicle maintains a generally roadworthy status with a stable maintenance trend over its recent history. The most recent test conducted in November 2025 at 16,012 miles resulted in a pass but introduced advisories for both nearside and offside front tyres being worn close to the legal limit and showing edge wear. This shift from the clean records of the previous years suggests the vehicle is now reaching a point where consumables require attention despite the low mileage. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 2,000 miles per year. Data shows consistent, low-interval usage, moving from 6,816 miles in November 2022 to 16,012 miles by late 2025. This pattern indicates light annual use, which typically reduces mechanical wear on the engine and suspension components. However, long periods of standing can sometimes lead to secondary issues such as flat spots on tyres or the degradation of rubber seals, which are not fully captured by MOT testing alone. A buyer should inspect the front tyres specifically to determine if the edge wear indicates an alignment issue or worn suspension bushes. While the failure in November 2022 at 6,814 miles was a minor item involving a windscreen wiper, the overall clean record for the following years suggests no underlying structural or major mechanical failures. Given the low mileage, a physical check of the brake discs for corrosion or pitting is advisable, as vehicles that sit for long periods often develop surface rust on the braking system.
