2014 Vauxhall Adam 1.4L Petrol · HB02 MEL

The vehicle presents a positive roadworthiness profile, showing a stable maintenance trend following previous mechanical setbacks. The most recent inspection conducted in November 2025 at 63,231 miles passed with no defects recorded, indicating that the car currently meets all minimum safety standards. While the history shows two failures in 2023 and 2024, the immediate passes following those tests suggest the owner was proactive in addressing specific faults flagged by the tester. The mileage pattern is notably low for a twelve-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,269 miles per year. The data shows a consistent usage pattern, with a 6,588-mile gap between November 2023 and December 2024, and another 8,881 miles covered between December 2024 and November 2025. This low annual mileage generally reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine components, though the short intervals between failures and passes in late 2024 suggest that minor issues were identified and corrected quickly to pass the retest without accumulating significant mileage. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the components most likely to age on low-mileage vehicles, such as rubber-based suspension bushes and perished seals. Because the car sits for longer periods between tests, check for signs of brake disc corrosion or seized calipers despite the low recorded mileage. The MOT history does not indicate recurring structural corrosion issues, but a thorough visual check of the chassis remains necessary to ensure that the low usage has not masked hidden rust development over the vehicle's lifespan.
