2013 Vauxhall Adam 1.2L Petrol · MX63 XRH

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but exhibits a worsening trend in mechanical condition that suggests deferred preventative maintenance. While it passed the most recent test on 15 May 2026 at 82,596 miles, this followed a significant failure just ten days prior. That failure revealed multiple critical issues, including a fractured offside front coil spring and an inoperative parking brake. The presence of recurring advisories regarding shock absorbers and exhaust leaks indicates that components are now reaching the end of their functional life. The' profile is consistent with a low-use vehicle, averaging approximately 6,350 miles per year over its 13-year lifespan. There was a gap of nearly 10,000 miles between May 2024 and May 2025, followed by another 10,000 miles between May 2025 and 2026. While the low annual mileage reduces wear on the drivetrain, it often accelerates the degradation of rubber components and seals, as evidenced by the perished fuel cap seal noted across multiple years. A buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the front sub-frame, as the 2026 test noted corrosion that, while not yet structurally compromised, is likely to progress without treatment. The parking brake system requires immediate attention, as the history shows a pattern of low efficiency and total failure, suggesting the mechanism is seizing or the cables require adjustment. Additionally, the misting on both rear shock car has been noted since at least 2025; these should be monitored for imminent failure or replaced to ensure consistent handling stability.
