2017 Vauxhall Adam 1.2L Petrol · LD17 OOY

The 2017 Vauxhall Adam presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 7 July 2025 at 15,230 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken sequence of clean results across five consecutive annual examinations. The mileage pattern shows consistently light use for a nine-year-old vehicle. From the 23 July 2021 test at 8,234 miles, the car covered just 7,000 miles over the following four years, averaging under 1,800 miles annually. The largest single-year movement was 2,096 miles between July 2022 and July 2023. No gaps or missed test windows appear in the record, and the absence of any advisory notices suggests the previous keeper kept basic consumables within tolerance. A clean MOT history with zero advisories does not exempt the buyer from physical inspection. Low annual mileage combined with probable long stationary periods raises the risk of perished rubber components, flat-spotted tyres, and superficial corrosion on brake discs or underbody members not yet severe enough to fail a test. Suspension bushes and coil springs should be checked for cracking from infrequent flexing. Given the record shows no recurring faults, structural or mechanical concerns, the Adam requires only standard pre-purchase checks. Verify the odometer against service stamps, confirm brake calipers are not binding after standing, and inspect exhaust hangers for rot. The documentary evidence supports a well-preserved example.
