2017 Vauxhall Adam 1.4L Petrol · DU17 SYR

The MOT history for this Vauxhall Adam shows a generally stable roadworthiness profile despite a significant failure in the most recent inspection. In October 2025 at 82,690 miles, the vehicle failed the test, indicating a specific mechanical or safety defect that required immediate attention. However, the vehicle passed the re-test on the same day, suggesting the issue was rectified quickly. Prior to this, the car maintained a clean record from 2022 through 2024, indicating a period of consistent maintenance and operation. The mileage progression is consistent with typical usage, averaging approximately 9,000 miles per year over the nine-year period. Between the 2022 test at 58,273 miles and the 2023 test at 69,477 miles, the car covered roughly 11,200 miles, which falls within the expected range for a vehicle of this age. The jump to 74,082 miles by late 2024 shows a slight decrease in annual usage, while the final interval to 82,690 miles reflects standard mileage accumulation that typically impacts consumable items like tyre tread, brake pads, and suspension bushes. While the record does not show recurring advisories for structural corrosion or major binding calipers, the failure in 2025 remains the primary point of interest. A buyer should verify the specific reason for that October 2025 failure to ensure it was a simple component replacement rather than a symptom of a deeper mechanical de-rating issue. The absence of long-term advisories in previous years suggests the vehicle has not suffered from significant structural rust, but a physical inspection of the exhaust system and brake discs is necessary to confirm the current state of the underbody.
