2014 Vauxhall Adam 1.2L Petrol · PE64 HGU

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, showing a clear improving trend following previous mechanical interventions. The most recent test in October 2025 at 34,963 miles passed with no recorded defects or advisories. This indicates that the underlying mechanical issues identified in earlier years have been addressed and that the car has maintained a high standard of operational readiness over the last two years of its testing history. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a twelve-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 2,900 miles per year. The data shows consistent, low-intensity usage, with only 3,146 miles covered between the October 2024 and October 2025 tests. While this low mileage suggests less overall mechanical wear on the engine and drivetrain, the long intervals between vehicle use can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber-based components or corrosion on brake surfaces, which is not always captured by a standard MOT test. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the braking system and suspension components. The October 2023 failure at 28,105 miles was caused by significant wear on both front brake pads and a pitted nearside disc. Although these were replaced to achieve the clean passes in subsequent years, the inspector should verify the current thickness of the pads and check that the calipers are operating freely without seizing. Given the 2022 advisory regarding a worn offside front tyre, a thorough check for uneven tyre wear across the axle is necessary, as low-mileage vehicles often suffer from alignment issues or flat spotting during periods of standing stationary.
