AI-generated interpretation of this vehicle’s MOT record — not an official statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

The DVSA MOT history supplied for this 2016 Vauxhall Adam shows a current roadworthy status, having passed its most recent examination on 28 July 2025 at the recorded mileage. The vehicle is therefore legally permitted on the road as of that date. The test history is sparse and unusually clean on its face, with no advisories or defects recorded across any entry, suggesting either a well-kept record or a history in which genuine wear items were not flagged. The trend visible from the five documented tests is neutral, as the data is too limited to demonstrate any clear pattern of improvement or deterioration. Mileage progression across the documented tests shows an annual accumulation of roughly 7,000 to 9,000 miles, consistent with the average figure of 7,179 miles per year calculated over the vehicle's ten-year life. The gap between the August 2023 test and the August 2024 test indicates around 12 months and an expected mileage increase in line with typical use. No anomalous mileage jumps or unusual gaps appear within the recorded entries, and the present-day date of 30 August 2026 places the last recorded test approximately thirteen months in the past. This means a current MOT certificate is not in force and a fresh test will be required before continued road use. Although the official record contains no advisory notes concerning brake condition, suspension components, or corrosion, the absence of such entries should not be treated as confirmation that those systems are free from wear. A pre-purchase physical inspection should focus on areas commonly affected on a ten-year-old supermini, including front suspension bushes and coil springs, rear brake shoes and caliper operation, exhaust integrity and mounting, and the condition of the underbody and structural seams for any emerging corrosion. Tyre tread depth and age markings should also be physically checked, since tyre condition is not always comprehensively captured in MOT data. Any underlying service history beyond the DVSA record should be requested to verify routine fluid changes and component replacement.
