2013 Vauxhall Adam 1.2L Petrol · FN13 YOX

The Vauxhall Adam presents as roadworthy following its most recent MOT pass on 14 November 2025 at 87,710 miles, with the maintenance trend appearing stable across the recorded history. The tester recorded no defects at that examination. Prior to this, the vehicle failed on 13 November 2025 at 87,706 miles yet no specific defects were listed, and an identical pattern occurred on 8 November 2024 when a fail at 79,468 miles was immediately followed by a pass at the same mileage with no advisories logged. These back-to-back fail-and-pass entries on the same day suggest administrative or presentation issues at the test centre rather than genuine mechanical faults, as no component failures were cited. The mileage progression shows light, consistent use for a 2013 vehicle. From the 13 November 2023 test at 73,893 miles, the car covered 5,575 miles to the November 2024 examination at 79,468 miles, then 8,242 miles to the November 2025 pass at 87,710 miles. This equates to roughly 6,700 miles per year overall, below the national average and indicative of a gently used urban or secondary car. The record is sparse, with only three pass outcomes and two same-day fails across two years, and no advisories for tyres, brakes, suspension bushes, corrosion, or emissions at any stage. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection despite the clean ledger. The absence of recorded advisories does not preclude worn coil springs, degraded suspension bushes, or early structural corrosion typical of a 13-year-old Vauxhall exposed to UK road salt. The same-day fail entries in November 2024 and November 2025 warrant confirmation that no hidden brake disc wear, binding calipers, or exhaust issues were suppressed during the corrective pass. Given the low annual mileage, periods of standing may have occurred, raising the risk of seized handbrake mechanisms or flat-spotted tyres not captured in the MOT. Verify service history independently and probe the test stations responsible for the unexplained fails before purchase.
