2014 Vauxhall Adam 1.2L Petrol · DY64 VNE

This Vauxhall Adam presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clean bill of health in its most recent inspection. The test on 7 August 2025 at 46,403 miles passed without any defects or advisories. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes over the last three years, suggesting the vehicle has been maintained to a standard that avoids recurring mechanical failures. The mileage is exceptionally low for a twelve year old vehicle, averaging roughly 3,867 miles per year. A significant jump in usage occurred between September 2023 and August 2024, where the odometer rose from 33,499 to 45,320 miles. Since that period, the car has covered only 1,083 miles in a year, indicating it is currently used sparingly or has spent extended periods stationary. The MOT history is remarkably sparse regarding technical faults. The failures recorded on 8 September 2023 and 28 August 2024 were resolved on the same day, and the lack of any listed defects suggests a lack of chronic issues with suspension bushes, brake discs, or structural corrosion. The absence of advisories over multiple years is uncommon for a vehicle of this age. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components that degrade due to inactivity rather than wear. Check for perishing rubber seals, flat spots on the tyres, and potential brake caliper binding caused by the low annual mileage. While the DVSA records show no structural integrity issues, a manual check for underbody corrosion is advised given the car's age.
