Mechanical Assessment

AI-generated interpretation of this vehicle’s MOT record — not an official statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

The 2017 Vauxhall Adam is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT on 12 January 2026 at 59,632 miles. The recent pass follows a failed test four days earlier at the same mileage, indicating that any previously noted faults were corrected before the final inspection, and the overall maintenance record shows a stable trend with no recurring mechanical defects reported. At nine years old, the vehicle has accumulated roughly 6,600 miles per year, which is typical, but the mileage trajectory reveals notable gaps: it rose from 41,746 miles in November 2023 to 48,262 miles in November 2024 (6,516 miles in one year), then jumped to 59,632 miles by January 2026 (11,370 miles in 14 months), suggesting periods of increased use or extended standing. A buyer should therefore examine the suspension bushes and coil springs for wear or binding, verify the condition of the brake discs and calipers for scoring or corrosion, and inspect the chassis and wheel arches for structural rust, especially around the sill and subframe areas. Given the clean defect record since the November 2023 test and the recent successful MOT, the vehicle appears to have been well maintained, though the high mileage accumulation in the past year warrants close verification of the mechanical components listed above before purchase.
