2015 Vauxhall Adam 1.2L Petrol · DC15 AAV

The vehicle currently maintains a roadworthy status with a stable maintenance trend following a period of reactive repairs. The latest test in June 2026 at 63,711 miles resulted in no defects, indicating that the mechanical issues identified in previous years were addressed. While the history shows instances of suspension and brake wear, the clean passes recorded over the last two years suggest the vehicle is currently being well-maintained to meet regulatory standards. The mileage profile is notably low for an eleven-year-old car, averaging approximately 5,800 miles per year. This low usage often suggests short-distance trips or long periods of stationary time. There is a distinct cluster of testing in early 2024, where the car underwent two tests in January at 49,389 miles, likely following a failure. Outside of this period, the vehicle follows consistent annual intervals. The low mileage generally reduces the wear on the engine and drivetrain, though it can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber components and dry seals if the vehicle sits stationary for too long between uses. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the front suspension, as this area has shown recurring issues. The 2022 test flagged damaged front track rod end dust covers and upper MacPherson strut mounts, followed by a failure in January 2024 for an insecure offside track rod end. The inspector should check for any remaining play in the steering geometry or knocks from the strut tops to ensure the previous repairs were comprehensive. Additionally, since the 2021 record noted thin brake pads and a worn tyre, the current condition of the brakes and tyre tread depth should be verified to ensure the low mileage has not masked uneven wear or perished rubber components.
