2019 Vauxhall Adam 1.2L Petrol · SA19 GVM

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status following a clean MOT pass on 23 March 2026 at 66,137 miles. This result indicates an improving maintenance trend, as the previous failures and advisories have been addressed. While the 2025 test showed significant issues, the lack of defects in the most recent inspection suggests that the immediate mechanical concerns regarding the front end and braking have been rectified since the last year. The mileage pattern is consistent with a seven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 9,450 miles per year. The records show steady annual usage, moving from 42,178 miles in March 2023 to 57,236 miles in March 2025, and reaching 66,137 miles in the latest test. This regular interval suggests typical use rather than long periods of standing, which generally helps prevent components like brake calipers from drying out or seizing. A buyer should perform a physical inspection of the front suspension and braking system given the history of recurring faults in these areas. The tester flagged a worn nearside Macpherson strut pin or bush in 2023, followed by a leaking front shock absorber and significantly worn brake discs in 2025. Although the 2026 test passed without defects, the buyer must verify that the shock absorber has been replaced rather than merely cleaned and ensure the brake discs and pads were fitted new rather than resurfaced. Checking for any residual fluid leaks around the strut or excessive play in the bushes is advisable to ensure the previous repairs were carried out across the entire front axle.
