2014 Vauxhall Adam 1.2L Petrol · ML64 XOF

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history shows a worsening trend regarding suspension and minor components. While it passed its most recent test in August 2025 at 86,626 miles, this followed a significant failure just one month prior. The transition from a serious fluid leak on the nearside shock absorber to a light misting on the offside unit suggests reactive repairs rather than a comprehensive overhaul. The continued presence of an active Tyre Pressure Monitoring System warning light and a perished fuel cap seal indicates that basic maintenance items are being overlooked by the current owner. The recorded mileage of 86,626 miles averages to approximately 7,200 miles per year, which is consistent with typical usage for a 12-year-old vehicle. The data shows consistent usage patterns, with 5,150 miles covered between January 2024 and August 2024, and another 5,626 miles between 2024 and July 2025. This regular interval suggests the car does not sit for long periods, though the low frequency of driving implies short trips which can sometimes accelerate the degradation of rubber components and seals. A buyer must personally inspect the front suspension geometry to ensure the track rod end issues have been fully rectified. The record shows deteriorating dust covers were flagged twice in 2025, which can lead to rapid joint wear and steering play if the assembly was not replaced. The offside front shock absorber should be checked for renewed signs of weeping, as the previously noted misting is a precursor to total seal failure. Additionally, the persistent TPMS warning light requires diagnostic attention as it often points to a faulty sensor or battery failure that can mask actual tyre pressure issues.
