2014 Vauxhall Adam 1.2L Petrol · DP14 AEJ

The vehicle’s most recent MOT, conducted on 2025-10-28 at 101,083 miles, recorded a pass with no defects. This suggests the car met roadworthiness standards at that point, though the absence of recorded issues in prior fails (e.g., 2024-12-23 at 94,575 miles) raises questions about the consistency of testing outcomes. The maintenance trend appears stable in the short term, with no escalating defects noted in the latest test. However, the lack of detailed fault reporting in multiple tests limits definitive conclusions about underlying mechanical health. The mileage progression shows a steady increase from 69,477 miles in 2023 to 101,083 miles in 2025, averaging approximately 8,424 miles annually. This aligns with typical usage for a 12-year-old vehicle, though the jump from 69,477 to 94,575 miles between 2023 and 2024—over 25,000 miles in 12 months—suggests either heavy usage or potential data anomalies. The 2023 tests at identical mileage (69,477) with conflicting outcomes (pass and fail) further complicate interpretation, indicating possible inconsistencies in testing or record-keeping. A buyer should prioritize inspecting the suspension system, particularly suspension bushes and coil springs, given the vehicle’s age and mileage. The brake system, including discs and calipers, warrants scrutiny for wear or binding, as these components often degrade with high mileage. Additionally, the exhaust system and body corrosion should be checked, as these are common issues in older vehicles. While the MOT records show no immediate failures, the absence of detailed defect reports underscores the need for an independent mechanical assessment before purchase.
