2015 Vauxhall Adam 1.2L Petrol · SD65 YMJ

The 2026-05-14 MOT passed at 75,766 miles, establishing a baseline for the 2015 VAUXHALL ADAM, though the 2026-05-13 failure at 75,763 miles indicates a significant deterioration in mechanical condition. The 2025-05-20 test, which failed at 66,255 miles, revealed critical issues including a near-complete failure of the offside front brake pads and a fractured front subframe, suggesting the vehicle has not been adequately maintained for its age. The 2024-05-15 test passed at 53,901 miles, confirming that while the 2025-05-20 failure occurred, the vehicle is still in a state of active wear that requires immediate and thorough inspection. The maintenance trend is clearly worsening rather than stable, as evidenced by the rapid mileage accumulation and the accumulation of multiple critical failures. The vehicle is approximately 11 years old, yet it has accumulated over 6,888 miles annually, which is atypical for a vehicle of this age and suggests a lack of proper upkeep. The rapid mileage increase is compounded by the specific failures at 66,255 miles, where structural integrity of the front subframe and brake components were compromised, indicating that the vehicle has not been serviced to meet safety standards. A buyer should inspect the vehicle immediately to address the confirmed structural failure in the front subframe and the critical brake pad issues, as these represent serious risks to the vehicle's safety and structural integrity. Given the fractured mounting area and the worn brake pads, the vehicle may require replacement of the subframe and brake pads to prevent further catastrophic failure. The 2026-05-14 test, while passing, serves only as a reference point; the 2025-05-20 failure demonstrates that the vehicle is in a state of active wear that must be addressed before any further driving or resale consideration is possible.
