2018 Vauxhall Adam 1.2L Petrol · PY67 GGE

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend indicates a reactive approach rather than preventative care. The most recent test in September 2025 at 64,706 miles resulted in a pass only after a failure just one week prior. That failure at 64,365 miles revealed a critically worn front front tyre below the legal limit. While the car has passed its latest inspection, the pattern suggests the owner only addresses mechanical issues when they are about to cause an MOT failure. At 64,706 miles over eight years, the Vauxhall Adam averages approximately 8,000 miles per year, which aligns with typical national averages for a city car. The data shows consistent usage patterns, with roughly 9,500 miles covered between the 2023 and 2024 tests, and another 11,600 miles covered in the following year. This steady mileage suggests the vehicle has not sat stationary for long periods, though the increased wear on rubber components and brake hardware is consistent with this usage. A buyer should inspect the front suspension and braking system closely due to the history of faults. The September 2023 test flagged a serious fluid leak in the nearside front shock absorber, which requires replacement to ensure consistent handling and tyre wear. Furthermore, the record shows pitted and scored brake discs alongside thin pads on the front axle, indicating the braking system is nearing the end of its life. You should check for signs of uneven tyre wear across all axles, as the previous offside rear tyre was worn on the edge, which often indicates an alignment issue or worn suspension bushes.
