2016 Vauxhall Adam 1.2L Petrol · LP16 FYN

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent history of clean passes. The most recent test on 23 July 2025 at 21,784 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects, despite an initial failure on the same day. This suggests a minor, non-systemic issue that was rectified immediately before the retest, as the vehicle has otherwise met all statutory safety and environmental standards across the last four annual inspections. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 2,178 miles per year. Between July 2022 at 11,703 miles and July 2025 at 21,784 miles, the car covered only 10,081 miles over three years. This low rate of use indicates the vehicle was likely used for short-distance trips or remained stationary for extended periods. While low mileage reduces mechanical wear on the engine and gearbox, it often leads to the degradation of rubber-based components and fluids due to lack of use. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components affected by low-mileage sitting. Specifically, check for sidewall cracking on tyres, perished brake hoses, and seized brake calipers which frequently occur when vehicles are driven infrequently. Inspect the suspension bushes for signs of cracking and examine the undercarriage for any surface rust accumulation, as age-related oxidation can affect structural integrity regardless of the number of miles driven. Since the MOT record shows no history of structural failure or recurring mechanical faults, the vehicle appears well-maintained for its specific usage profile.
