2013 Vauxhall Adam 1.2L Petrol · GY63 BWD

The 2025‑09‑11 MOT at 22,831 miles recorded a pass with no defects, indicating that the vehicle’s current condition is roadworthy and that the maintenance record has remained stable since the previous test. Over the past decade the mileage has risen from 10,329 miles in October 2017 to 22,831 miles in September 2025, averaging roughly 1,756 miles per year, which is low for a 13‑year‑old car. The increments are modest and consistent, with the largest jump occurring between the 2022‑10‑05 test at 19,074 miles and the 2025‑09‑11 test, adding 3,757 miles over three years, while earlier periods show smaller annual increases. Recurring issues centre on the near‑side front suspension, which displayed a serious fluid leak on 2022‑10‑03 and a cracked near‑side rear tyre perishing on 2023‑09‑25, while the near‑side front tyre sidewall was cut in 2017 and the windscreen wiper failed to clear effectively in the same year. These patterns suggest the suspension bushes, coil springs and shock absorbers merit close inspection, as do the brake discs and calipers, the chassis for rust, and the tyre tread and sidewalls. A buyer should therefore examine the condition of the suspension components for leaks or worn bushes, verify the integrity of the brake system, look for structural corrosion, assess tyre wear and any sidewall damage, and test the wiper mechanism, while also confirming that any previous repairs were carried out to a high standard.
