2013 Vauxhall Adam 1.4L Petrol · HT13 HRZ

The 2026‑03‑17 MOT at 39,534 miles confirmed the Vauxhall Adam as roadworthy, with no defects recorded. The consecutive passes in 2022, 2023, 2024, 2025 and 2026 demonstrate a stable maintenance record, showing no deterioration in the vehicle’s mechanical condition. At 13 years old, the 39,534‑mile odometer reflects an average annual mileage of about 3,041 miles, indicating light usage or extended periods of inactivity. The interval from the 2022‑06‑22 test at 31,304 miles to the 2023‑06‑21 test at 32,759 miles added only 1,455 miles, while the 2024‑06‑21 test at 34,665 miles increased the total by 1,906 miles, and the 2025‑03‑20 test at 36,009 miles added 1,344 miles before the final 2026‑03‑17 test recorded 39,534 miles, a rise of 3,525 miles in the preceding year. A buyer should therefore inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs for wear, examine the brake discs and calipers for scoring or binding, and verify the condition of the exhaust system and structural integrity, especially around the wheel arches and chassis rails, as these components are prone to corrosion even with low mileage. Given the clean MOT history, the primary risk lies in concealed rust or delayed replacement of wear items, so a thorough visual and tactile assessment of the underbody, suspension mounting points, and brake hardware is essential before purchase.
