2015 Vauxhall Adam 1.4L Petrol · FN15 YKG

The Vauxhall Adam presents as roadworthy following its most recent MOT pass on 20 October 2025 at 85,863 miles, with the maintenance trend appearing stable across the recorded history. The DVLA record shows no defects, advisories, or mechanical faults at any stage, and the latest test sits roughly nine months before today's date of 8 July 2026, giving the buyer a fairly fresh certificate. A prior failure on the same date at identical mileage with no defects logged points to an administrative or documentation issue rather than a mechanical concern. Mileage has accumulated at a modest pace for an eleven-year-old vehicle, averaging around 7,806 miles per year against the 85,863 miles recorded. The car covered just 4,164 miles between the 1 December 2023 test at 79,639 miles and the 14 September 2024 test at 81,700 miles, then added only 4,163 miles to the October 2025 pass. Such low annual use suggests light urban running rather than sustained motorway wear, though standing periods can accelerate rubber perishing and brake corrosion if the car sat unused. The sparse MOT data gives no recurring faults to track, yet a buyer should still verify in person the items a test may overlook or that degrade between tests. Inspect suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs for age-related fatigue, and check underneath for structural corrosion given the vehicle's 2015 build and lower-mileage history. The twin failures on 13 September 2024 and 20 October 2025 with zero defects recorded warrant a check of the V5C and test paperwork to confirm no suppressed mechanical entries exist. Given the clean pass record and typical mileage, previous ownership appears to have kept basic statutory testing current without neglected repeat failures. The absence of advisories across three years means consumables such as tyres and wiper blades were either within limits or renewed quietly. A pre-purchase inspection remains sensible to confirm real-world condition beyond the DVSA summary.
