2014 Vauxhall Adam 1.4L Petrol · EL02 TYE

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status, showing a stable maintenance trend. Although the most recent test on 09 March 2026 at 118,178 miles resulted in an initial failure, the car secured a pass on the same day. This suggests that the owner is willing to rectify identified defects immediately to maintain legal compliance. The clean sheets of advisories from the 2024 and 2025 tests indicate that the vehicle has been operating without significant mechanical degradation or structural deterioration. The recorded mileage of 118,178 miles over twelve years represents an average usage of approximately 9,848 miles per annum. This figure aligns closely with typical UK usage patterns for a hatchback of this age. The data shows consistent accumulation, with roughly 9,400 miles covered between March 2024 and March 2025, and another 10,700 miles between March 2025 and March 2026. This regular use suggests the vehicle has not suffered from long periods of standing, which often causes internal seals and fuel system issues. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the specific areas that caused the failures in March 2024 and March 2026. Since the record does not list the specific reasons for these failures, the inspector must verify that common items like light bulbs, wipers, or minor leaks were properly addressed. Given the mileage, a close look at the suspension bushes and the condition of the brake discs for thinning or uneven wear is advisable. The lack of recorded advisories over the last three years suggests the structural integrity of the chassis remains sound for now.
