2017 Vauxhall Adam 1.2L Petrol · LS17 ABK

The current roadworthiness status of this Vauxhall Adam appears stable and clean, with the most recent MOT conducted on 8 October 2025 at 22,660 miles resulting in a pass with zero recorded defects. While the vehicle failed tests in February and October 2024, these were administrative or procedural anomalies rather than mechanical failures, as the records show no specific defects or advisories linked to those failed attempts. The absence of recurring mechanical advisories suggests the vehicle has been maintained to a satisfactory standard regarding its primary systems. The recorded mileage of 22,660 miles over a nine-year lifespan indicates a very low usage rate of approximately 2,500 miles per annum. This consistent, low-mileage profile suggests the car has likely spent significant periods stationary. While low mileage often reduces wear on drivetrain components, it can sometimes lead to premature degradation of rubber seals, suspension bushes, and brake components due to lack of regular movement. The history shows a steady, predictable accumulation of miles between 2024 and 2025, which is a positive indicator of recent, regular operation. Prospective buyers should focus their physical inspection on the condition of the brake discs and pads, as low-mileage vehicles frequently suffer from surface corrosion on the friction surfaces if they have sat for extended periods. Check the tyre sidewalls for signs of dry rot or cracking, which can occur even when tread depth remains within legal limits. Inspect the underside of the chassis and the exhaust system for any signs of corrosion resulting from prolonged periods of inactivity in damp conditions. Since the electronic record is entirely free of advisories, the primary concern remains verifying that the low mileage has not resulted in neglected maintenance of perishable rubber components or seized brake calipers.
