2013 Vauxhall Adam 1.2L Petrol · DF13 GLZ

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clear trend of proactive maintenance following specific failures. The most recent MOT in December 2025 at 101,927 miles resulted in no defects, indicating that previous mechanical issues have been addressed. This follows a clean pass in December 2024, suggesting the car is currently operating in a good mechanical state and that the owner is responding to test requirements promptly. The mileage pattern is consistent with a 13-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,800 miles per year over its life. While the usage is generally low and steady, there was a notable increase in mileage between December 2022 and December 2024, where the car covered over 23,000 miles in two years. This period of higher activity likely correlates with the January 2024 failure regarding a worn front suspension arm ball joint. Prior to this period, the vehicle saw significantly lower annual mileage, which sometimes leads to the degradation of rubber-based components. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the front suspension geometry, given the history of wear in that area. The 2024 failure for a worn nearside front ball joint and the 2022 failure for a deteriorated offside front CV boot suggest that the front-end components are subject to stress. While the 2020 test flagged light misting rear shock absorbers and a minor oil leak, the buyer should verify that these issues were fully rectified rather than ignored during the subsequent years of clean tests. The record shows no recurring structural corrosion or persistent brake issues, which is positive for a Vauxhall of this age. The lack of advisories in the last three tests suggests that typical consumable wear and age-related degradation is being managed. An inspection should still check for any signs of the oil leak noted in 2020 to ensure it has not returned as the engine has passed the 100,000-mile threshold.
