2014 Vauxhall Adam Glam S/S 1.4L Petrol · JY04 BUG

This Vauxhall Adam has maintained a consistent MOT pass record over the past five annual tests, with the most recent inspection on 18 August 2025 confirming full compliance at 65,130 miles. No defects, advisories, or major failings were recorded across any of the tests, indicating the vehicle has passed all mandatory DVSA checks without exception. The absence of recurring issues suggests the previous owner adhered to basic maintenance intervals, though this does not preclude hidden wear or deferred servicing. The latest test occurred just under a year ago, placing it within the optimal window for roadworthiness—though buyers should verify whether the vehicle has undergone any interim servicing beyond the MOT’s scope. The recorded mileage of 65,130 miles over 12 years equates to approximately 5,428 miles annually, a figure significantly lower than the UK average for a vehicle of this age. The consistent 12-month intervals between MOTs (with no gaps exceeding 15 months) imply the car was either lightly used or stored for extended periods, which could contribute to slower degradation of high-mileage components like suspension bushes or drivetrain fluids. Notably, there are no abrupt jumps in mileage between tests, ruling out rapid resale cycles or aggressive driving patterns that might accelerate wear. Given the clean MOT history, the primary focus for an in-person inspection should centre on suspension integrity—particularly the condition of coil springs, bushes, and shock absorbers—given the low mileage may mask gradual deterioration. Brake discs and calipers should be examined for uneven wear or corrosion, as binding calipers were not flagged in past tests but could develop over time. Structural corrosion, particularly around wheel arches and sills, warrants scrutiny, as does the integrity of the exhaust system for leaks or excessive rust. While the MOT record offers no red flags, these areas are common points of concern for a vehicle this age, and visual confirmation is essential.
