2014 Vauxhall Adam 1.2L Petrol · FV14 XUO

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, following a clean pass in its most recent MOT test. The most recent inspection conducted in September 2025 at 76,182 miles resulted in no recorded defects, indicating that the owner has addressed previous mechanical and consumable issues effectively. While the history shows intermittent failures related to suspension and tyres, the transition to clean records over the last two years suggests the vehicle is currently maintaining high operational standards. At 76,182 miles, the Vauxhall Adam averages approximately 6,350 miles per year, which aligns with typical light usage for a twelve-year-old car. The mileage data shows consistent progression without any significant gaps that would suggest long periods of inactivity. For instance, the vehicle covered roughly 8,000 miles between the October 2024 and September 2025 tests, maintaining a regular driving pattern. This consistent use generally reduces the risk of component seizing or brake corrosion often associated with vehicles that sit for extended periods. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the front subframe, which was flagged for slight corrosion in October 2024 at 71,298 miles. While this did not cause a failure, structural rust should be monitored to ensure it does not progress into deep perforation that compromises chassis integrity. Additionally, the history notes a fractured nearside front coil spring in 2021 and a misting rear shock absorber in 2017. An inspector should verify the current suspension assembly for any new oil leaks or signs of metal fatigue to confirm that previous repairs remain effective.
