2014 Vauxhall Adam 1.2L Petrol · DP14 AEE

The 2014 Vauxhall Adam remains roadworthy, with a stable maintenance trend evidenced by five consecutive MOT passes since 2019. The most recent test on 2025-09-14 at 87,812 miles confirmed no defects, aligning with prior results from 2024-08-29 (80,192 miles) and 2023-02-26 (69,177 miles). No recurring issues or escalating faults were recorded, indicating consistent upkeep. The vehicle’s mechanical systems appear to have been maintained to acceptable standards, with no advisories or critical failures noted across its 12-year lifespan. Mileage progression reflects steady usage, accumulating 7,318 miles annually on average. The 2019-05-24 test at 33,306 miles marked a low point, followed by gradual increases to 62,017 miles by 2021-11-24, then 69,177 miles in 2023. The 2024-08-29 test at 80,192 miles showed a 11,015-mile jump over 15 months, which is within normal parameters for a 12-year-old vehicle. No irregularities in mileage accumulation or extended gaps between tests were observed, suggesting regular operation without prolonged inactivity. While no specific mechanical faults were flagged, a buyer should verify the condition of wear-prone components typical for this age. Suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs may show signs of fatigue, particularly given the 87,812-mile total. Corrosion risks, especially in body seams or underbody panels, warrant inspection. The absence of exhaust emissions or structural integrity advisories is reassuring, but a pre-purchase check should confirm brake system functionality and tyre tread depth, as these are common areas for gradual degradation in older vehicles.
