2015 Vauxhall Adam 1.2L Petrol · X6 DBC

The 2015 Vauxhall Adam is currently roadworthy following its most recent MOT on 2025-08-04, but the maintenance trend shows a concerning deterioration over the past year. The vehicle failed its MOT just two days earlier with multiple defects, including worn tyres, suspension issues, and oil leakage from shock absorbers. While the latest test resolved the brake efficiency concerns, the recurrence of suspension and tyre-related faults indicates ongoing neglect or unresolved underlying problems. The recorded mileage of 61,618 miles at 11 years old suggests relatively low annual usage, averaging just over 5,600 miles per year. This is consistent with a vehicle that has likely been driven gently or stored for periods. However, the MOT history reveals a significant gap between the 2023-07-10 pass and the 2024-07-13 pass, during which the vehicle accumulated nearly 5,000 miles without a test. This extended period without inspection may have allowed minor issues to escalate, particularly given the recurring suspension and tyre defects. Buyers should conduct a thorough pre-purchase inspection focusing on the front and rear suspension components, especially the track rod ends, anti-roll bar linkages, and shock absorbers, which have shown signs of wear and oil leakage. The nearside rear tyre has been flagged twice for wear and cracking, indicating potential alignment or suspension issues. Brake system performance remains a concern, as the vehicle failed twice for insufficient service and parking brake efficiency. The exhaust flexi hose is also a recurring fault, which could signal broader exhaust system corrosion or structural fatigue.
