2014 Vauxhall Adam 1.2L Petrol · OV14 OJP

The 2014 Vauxhall Adam remains road‑worthy as of the latest MOT on 28 March 2026, when it passed with no defects at 87,850 miles. The record shows no repeat faults in the two preceding years, suggesting a stable maintenance pattern rather than a worsening trend. The brief failure on 29 March 2025, which was resolved by the following day’s test, appears to have been a procedural issue rather than a mechanical one. Mileage accumulation has been modest. From 76,954 miles in April 2024 to 81,358 miles in March 2025, the vehicle logged 5,404 miles, and from that point to 87,850 miles in March 2026, it logged 6,492 miles. These figures average roughly 5,900 miles per year, lower than the typical 7,300 miles for a car of this age. The data points are sparse but consistent, with no sudden spikes or gaps that would indicate irregular use or neglect. A prospective buyer should physically inspect the components that commonly show wear on a vehicle of this mileage. Verify the condition of the brake discs and pads for any signs of uneven wear or glazing, and confirm that the calipers operate smoothly without binding. The suspension bushings and coil springs should be checked for cracking or excessive play, as should the steering linkages. Tyre tread depth and sidewall integrity are essential, as are the wiper blades and the condition of the windscreen. Inspect the exhaust system for rust or loose connections, and examine the body panels for corrosion, particularly around wheel arches and the rear bumper. Finally, confirm that the vehicle’s structural integrity remains sound by checking for any frame damage or rust along the chassis. Overall, the MOT history indicates that the vehicle has been maintained in a manner that keeps it road‑worthy, with no recurring defects recorded in the last two years. A thorough in‑person inspection of the items listed above will help confirm that the car continues to meet the required safety and performance standards.
