2015 Vauxhall Adam 1.2L Petrol · LU61 RAM

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance history indicates a pattern of reactive rather than proactive upkeep. While the most recent test in October 2025 at 54,759 miles passed, it introduced advisories for perishing rubber on both rear tyres, which is a common consequence of low-mileage vehicles that sit for extended periods. The trend shows a period of stability following a significant failure in 2023, as the subsequent tests addressed the mechanical failures without flagging new defects. At 11 years old, the recorded mileage of 54,759 miles is notably low, averaging under 5,000 miles per year. This low usage is consistent across the records, with only 15,917 miles driven between September 2022 and October 2025. However, the low annual mileage often correlates with the degradation of age-related components like rubber seals and tyre compounds, as evidenced by the cracking on the tyres and the perishing issues noted in the latest inspection. A buyer must focus inspection on the front suspension and braking system. The September 2023 failure at 42,164 miles revealed critical wear, including thin brake pads, significantly worn discs, and damaged track rod end dust covers. While these were seemingly rectified, the previous report of excessively fluctuating front brakes suggests potential rotor warping or caliper piston issues. A physical inspection should verify the absence of judder under braking and ensure that the track rod ends and associated boots are free of grease leaks or dirt ingress.
