2018 Vauxhall Adam 1.2L Petrol · DT18 HCZ

The vehicle presents a high standard of roadworthiness based on a consistent history of clean MOT passes. The most recent test conducted on 5 March 2026 at 55,050 miles returned no defects or advisories, indicating a stable maintenance trend over the last five years. This suggests that the previous owners proactively maintained the vehicle and addressed any emerging issues before they could escalate into test failures. The mileage pattern is remarkably consistent for an eight-year-old car, averaging approximately 6,800 miles per year. There is a notable jump in usage between March 2022 at 22,477 miles and March 2023 at 36,103 miles, where the car covered over 13,000 miles in a single year. Since then, usage has returned to a steadier rate of 7,000 to 8,000 miles annually. This relatively low annual mileage suggests light use, which typically results in less wear on the drivetrain and suspension components compared to high-mileage counterparts. Because the record shows no recurring faults with structural corrosion, binding brakes, or suspension components, a buyer should focus their physical inspection on consumable items and age-related degradation. Given the low mileage, check for perished rubber components such as tyre boots and suspension bushes, which can degrade over time regardless of distance driven. Also inspect the brake discs for surface rust or pitting, as vehicles that are driven infrequently sometimes suffer from component oxidation. The lack of recorded advisories suggests the vehicle has been well-cared for, but a manual check of the fluid levels and tyre age remains essential.
