2014 Vauxhall Adam 1.2L Petrol · MA14 ABY

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2025-12-17 at 90,008 miles recorded a pass with no defects, indicating a stable maintenance trend following earlier failures in 2024. The 2024-12-18 test at 85,907 miles and the 2024-12-31 test at 86,180 miles both failed but without recorded defects, suggesting potential minor issues resolved prior to the latest successful test. The absence of defects in the most recent assessment implies the vehicle meets current roadworthiness standards, though the prior failures warrant scrutiny for underlying concerns. Mileage progression shows consistent annual usage of approximately 7,500 miles, aligning with typical patterns for a 12-year-old vehicle. The 2023-12-22 test at 71,408 miles marked the earliest recorded data, with subsequent tests spaced roughly one year apart. No significant gaps or rapid mileage spikes are evident, suggesting regular operation rather than prolonged inactivity. The clean record from 2023 onward, aside from the 2024 failures, reflects a vehicle maintained to meet legal requirements, though the lack of detailed defect reports limits insight into specific maintenance practices. A buyer should inspect the suspension system for worn bushes or coil springs, as these components often degrade with age and mileage. Brake discs and calipers should be checked for corrosion or uneven wear, particularly given the 2024 failures, which may have related to braking performance. Structural integrity and exhaust emissions should also be verified, as these are common areas for deterioration in older vehicles. While the latest MOT confirms compliance, the prior failures suggest proactive monitoring of mechanical systems is advisable.
