2015 Vauxhall Adam 1.4L Petrol · EY15 TLF

The vehicle passed its most recent MOT on 15 July 2026 at 46,142 miles with no defects recorded, confirming it currently meets statutory roadworthiness standards. The maintenance trend over the past year is improving, following a failed test in March 2025 where a fractured offside front coil spring and worn shock absorber top mount bushes were identified. These issues were rectified ahead of the successful retest five days later, with no advisories carried forward into the July 2026 inspection. At roughly 4,195 miles per year, this 11-year-old Vauxhall Adam has covered exceptionally low mileage, consistent with light use or extended periods of standing. The gap between the March 2025 failure and the July 2026 pass suggests deliberate attention to resolving the coil spring and suspension issues rather than neglect. No rapid mileage accumulation appears in the record, and the steady annual increases indicate careful ownership. A prospective buyer should prioritise inspecting the front suspension struts and top mount bushes, given the history of oil misting and bush wear on both sides. The previous coil spring fracture warrants checking the remaining springs for cracking or corrosion, particularly at the mounting points. The recurring track rod end dust cover deterioration noted in 2021 and 2022 calls for a close look at the steering linkage for play or contamination ingress. Finally, review the front and rear tyres for uneven wear patterns, which could indicate alignment issues or lingering suspension geometry problems.
