2015 Vauxhall Adam 1.4L Petrol · SW15 CXS

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, showing a clear trend of improvement following a period of mechanical inconsistency. Since mid-2019, the car has passed three consecutive MOT tests without any recorded defects or advisories. The test in August 2021 at 41,507 miles confirmed that the previous issues were rectified and the vehicle has since maintained a clean certificate of operational readiness. The mileage pattern is notably low for an eleven-year-old vehicle, averaging only approximately 3,700 miles per year. The data shows a significant drop in use between May 2020 and August 2021, where the car covered just 4,617 miles in 15 months. While this low mileage suggests minimal wear on the drivetrain and engine components, long periods of inactivity can lead to the degradation of rubber-based components, such as suspension bushes and seals, or cause seizing in braking systems. A buyer must investigate the specific nature of the two failures in May 2019 at 32,586 miles, as the recorded defects are not detailed in this summary. The double failure within three weeks suggests a significant mechanical or safety fault that required immediate attention. Given the low annual usage, a physical inspection should focus on checking for corrosion on the brake discs, flat spots on tyres, and the condition of fluid hoses, as these elements suffer from age-related decay irrespective of the distance driven.
