2015 Vauxhall Adam 1.4L Petrol · FG65 FDU

The Vauxhall Adam presents as roadworthy following its most recent test on 27 September 2025 at 43,773 miles, where the tester recorded no defects. The maintenance trend is stable, with the vehicle passing its last examination cleanly after two earlier failed attempts in the same weeks of 2024 and 2025 that also carried no recorded defects. This pattern suggests administrative or presentation issues at the testing station rather than escalating mechanical decline. The recorded mileage of 43,773 against an 11-year-old car equates to light use of roughly 3,979 miles per year. The odometer moved from 38,342 miles at the September 2023 test to 41,194 in September 2024, then to 43,773 by September 2025, showing steady low annual accumulation of around 2,500 to 2,600 miles. No gaps or sudden surges appear in the data, and the sparse clean record gives little evidence of neglected consumable replacement across the timeline. A buyer should still arrange a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the low standing mileage, which can allow corrosion and seized components to develop unnoticed. The two defect-free failures on 21 September 2024 and 24 September 2025 warrant clarification with the selling garage, as DVSA systems normally log a reason for refusal even if minor. Verify the vehicle's structural integrity underneath for rust and check exhaust emissions during a cold start. The history implies a cautious previous owner, but the twin same-week fail-pass cycles mean the buyer must confirm the car was not presented with a trivial documentation fault masked as a clean retest.
