2013 Vauxhall Adam 1.2L Petrol · SC63 AAF

The 2013 Vauxhall Adam presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, evidenced by the most recent test on 11 March 2026 at 61,878 miles returning a pass with no defects recorded. Prior annual tests on 13 March 2025 at 58,057 miles and 8 March 2024 at 54,507 miles also passed cleanly, indicating no escalating mechanical concerns across the last three years. The recorded mileage of 61,878 against a 13-year lifespan equates to a low average of roughly 4,760 miles per year, suggesting light use or extended periods of standing. The DVSA data shows a tight, consistent accumulation: 51,469 miles in March 2023, 54,358 at the February 2024 failure, 54,507 by March 2024, then 58,057 in 2025 and 61,878 in 2026. A single failed test on 24 February 2024 at 54,358 miles listed no defects, with a clean pass just twelve days later at 54,507 miles; this points to an administrative or non-mechanical rejection rather than a worn component, and the sparse, clean record implies the previous keeper kept basic upkeep current. Given the absence of any advisories for suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, binding calipers, or structural corrosion across all five entries, the Adam shows no recurring fault pattern requiring alarm. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of underbody structural integrity and subframe corrosion given the vehicle's age, and verify that low annual mileage has not allowed brake calipers or flexible hoses to degrade through inactivity. Confirming service history for timing chain tension and coolant condition remains prudent on a low-use thirteen-year-old Vauxhall.
