2013 Vauxhall Adam 1.2L Petrol · EX13 OTV

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status, evidenced by a clean pass on March 30, 2026 at 107,129 miles. This most recent test showed no recorded defects, indicating that the mechanical and electrical issues identified in the previous year have been rectified. While the failure in April 2025 highlighted a lapse in pre-test preparation, the vehicle has returned to a high standard of operational maintenance in the latest inspection cycle. The mileage pattern is consistent with a 13-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,200 miles per year. The data shows steady usage over the years, with 7,343 miles recorded between March 2024 and April 2025, and another 6,309 miles between April 2025 and March 2026. This regular interval suggests the car does not suffer from long periods of stagnation, which often leads to degradation of rubber components and fluid seals. The consistent accumulation indicates predictable wear patterns on consumables. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the electrical systems that caused the 2025 failure, specifically testing the offside headlamp main beam, fog lamp, and registration plate illumination to ensure the wiring remains secure. Although the washer system was previously flagged, the pump should be checked for leaks or blocked nozzles. Given the age and the 100,000-mile milestone, a close look at the suspension bushes and structural integrity around the sills is advisable, as these are common points of wear on this model that do not always trigger a standard MOT failure until corrosion becomes significant.
