2016 Vauxhall Adam 1.2L Petrol · SE16 GVM

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on its recent testing history. The most recent MOT conducted on 29 May 2025 at 85,058 miles passed with no defects recorded, following a brief failure just two days prior at 85,056 miles. This sequence suggests a minor, perhaps administrative or consumable issue that was rectified immediately before the retest. Since that point, the vehicle has maintained a clean record without any recurring mechanical or structural failures. The mileage pattern is consistent with a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,500 miles per year. Between July 2023 at 78,629 miles and June 2024 at 80,826 miles, the car covered 2,197 miles, indicating a period of lower usage. The subsequent jump of 4,232 miles leading into the 2025 tests shows a return to normal driving habits. This moderate annual mileage reduces the stress on the drivetrain and suspension components, which explains the lack of significant mechanical flags in the MOT history. While the record is currently clean, a buyer should still perform a physical inspection of the components most likely to age despite low mileage. Focus on the suspension bushes and coil springs for signs of cracking or perish, as rubber components degrade over time even if not being driven frequently. Additionally, check the brake discs and calipers for corrosion or uneven wear, as the MOT does not fully test the remaining life of the braking system. The overall history suggests a vehicle that has been maintained well enough to pass inspections without major structural intervention.
