2015 Vauxhall Adam 1.2L Petrol · MD15 AYA

The April 22, 2026 MOT at 55,529 miles recorded a pass with no defects, confirming current roadworthiness, yet the maintenance trend over the preceding two years shows recurring faults rather than steady improvement. Earlier failures in 2025 and 2024 repeatedly highlighted insecure track‑rod end dust covers, serious front sub‑frame corrosion, and leaking shock absorbers, indicating that previous owners have not resolved underlying suspension and structural concerns. The vehicle’s 11‑year age and 55,529 miles equate to roughly 5,000 miles per year, a low annual mileage that suggests limited use or extended periods of inactivity. Mileage accumulation was modest between the 2025 and 2026 tests (872 miles in 368 days) but accelerated sharply from 2020 to 2022, rising from 35,997 miles to 46,400 miles in just over two years, and again from 2024 to 2025, climbing 588 miles in 11 months. A buyer should therefore inspect the front sub‑frame for weakened welds or rust, examine the track‑rod end dust covers and ball joints for play or damage, verify the condition of both front shock absorbers for fluid leaks, and assess the brake discs for excessive wear or pitting, while also checking tyre tread and the seat‑belt buckle for functional integrity.
