2014 Vauxhall Adam 1.2L Petrol · DP14 AEY

The Vauxhall Adam presents as roadworthy following a clean pass at 41,190 miles on 26 July 2025, and the maintenance trend is stable with no advisories or defects logged across the last five tests. The most recent pass came one week after a failure at 41,188 miles on 19 July 2025 that recorded no defects, a pattern consistent with an administrative or retest anomaly rather than a mechanical fault. Prior tests at 36,978 miles (July 2024), 33,672 miles (August 2023) and 30,338 miles (July 2022) all passed with no items raised, showing the vehicle has avoided recurring suspension, brake, or emissions issues. At roughly 3,432 miles per year over twelve years, the odometer reading of 41,190 miles is low for the age. Annual increments stayed tight: 3,340 miles between July 2022 and August 2023, 3,306 to July 2024, and 4,212 to July 2025. The sparse, clean record shows no rapid accumulation or unexplained gaps, though low use can mask perished rubber components and corrosion from prolonged standing. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the car's age and low-mileage storage pattern. The tester raised no structural integrity or exhaust emissions concerns, yet twelve-year-old Vauxhalls commonly develop subframe corrosion unseen in an MOT bay. Verify the July 2025 fail-retest sequence with the seller and confirm no hidden rectification occurred between the two dates.
