2019 Vauxhall Adam 1.2L Petrol · FT19 UUD

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent inspection in June 2026 with 10,082 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable following a period of minor mechanical alerts in 2023. While the latest test identified an advisory regarding a perishing offside front tyre, the lack of new failures suggests the owner is addressing immediate defects promptly. The mileage is exceptionally low for a seven-year-old vehicle, averaging only 1,440 miles per year, which typically reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine. The data shows a consistent annual increase of roughly 1,000 miles between tests, moving from 5,912 miles in 2022 to 10,082 miles in 2026. However, such low usage often leads to age-related degradation of rubber-based components due to long periods of standing, rather than mechanical wear and tear from driving. A physical inspection should focus on rubber components and fluid lines which have shown signs of age. The 2023 test flagged corrosion on front and offside rear brake pipes, as well as worn bushes on both front shock absorbers. Although these passed subsequent tests, the buyer must verify that the corrosion has not progressed and that the suspension bushings remain supple. The recurring mention of perishing tyre sidewalls in 2023 and 2026 indicates that the tyres are drying out due to age rather than tread depth, necessitating a thorough check of all sidewalls for dry rot or deep cracking beyond just the current offside front tyre.
