2015 Vauxhall Adam 1.2L Petrol · FP15 THK

The 2015 Vauxhall Adam presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 6 October 2025 at 83,380 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the two prior annual tests in April 2025 and April 2024 also closed as passes with no advisories. The vehicle shows no worsening mechanical faults across the observed record. Recorded mileage sits at 83,380 against an eleven-year lifespan, equating to circa 7,580 miles per year and reflecting typical use for this model age. The jump from 68,181 miles at the April 2024 failure to 81,015 miles by April 2025 shows roughly 12,800 miles added in that year, above the long-run average but not abnormal. The DVSA log is sparse, with only two failure entries and both carrying no listed defects, so the data gives little basis to judge consumable wear or owner care beyond clean test outcomes. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs and calipers given the age and the unexplained failure entries on 25 April 2024 at 68,181 miles and 25 April 2025 at 81,015 miles. The absence of recorded defects on those failures suggests administrative or presentation issues at test rather than mechanical fault, but structural integrity and exhaust emissions should be confirmed on the ramp. Given the clean advisory history and stable pass record, the Adam reads as lightly troubled mechanically, yet the twin same-day fail-and-pass pairs warrant scrutiny of the vehicle's test provenance and a full underbody corrosion check before purchase.
