2015 Vauxhall Adam 1.2L Petrol · DF15 AYD

The vehicle remains currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a slight shift toward minor mechanical attention. The most recent test conducted in September 2023 at 69,993 miles identified a non-excessive oil leak. While the car passed this inspection, it marks the first recorded defect since the clean sheet presented in the September 2022 test. The overall condition of the vehicle appears stable, reflecting a period of good upkeep before this recent development. The mileage pattern is consistent with a low-use vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 6,360 miles per year. Between September 2020 at 45,349 miles and September 2023 at 69,993 miles, the car covered roughly 24,600 miles. This steady accumulation suggests the vehicle has not sat stationary for long periods, though low mileage can sometimes cause rubber components such as seals, hoses, and suspension bushes to dry out and crack over time rather than wearing out from miles on the odometer. A buyer should specifically inspect the source of the oil leak noted in the 2023 record to determine if it is a simple gasket or a more significant engine seal failure. The 2021 failure revealed a malfunctioning tyre pressure monitoring system and incorrect headlamp aim, which were rectified quickly, but a physical inspection should verify that the TPMS is now functioning correctly. Given the age of the Vauxhall Adam, a thorough check of the chassis for corrosion and the condition of brake lines is essential, as the MOT record does not explicitly detail structural integrity issues to date.
