2013 Vauxhall Adam 1.2L Petrol · SH63 VPU

The most recent MOT, dated 2026-05-06, passed but noted several specific issues. The main risk pattern involves wear items and suspension components. Specifically, the front brake pads are wearing thin on both sides, and the nearside front lower suspension arm ball joint has slight play. There is also noted corrosion on the front sub-frame and a damaged or deteriorated dust cover on the nearside front track rod end ball joint. The trend in the MOT history shows that while the vehicle has passed recent inspections, specific wear items and suspension components are being flagged. There is no clear indication that the condition is significantly improving, as wear items are still being noted. The mileage of 98,157 miles for a 2013 model is consistent with the expected annual usage rate, suggesting typical wear for this age. This mileage level does not strongly indicate either very light use or excessively hard use. A buyer should first inspect the front brake wear, the nearside front suspension components, and the area around the front sub-frame for corrosion. They should also check the nearside rear parking brake effort as it was flagged in a previous inspection.
