2013 Vauxhall Adam 1.4L Petrol · YH13 MXF

The most recent MOT on 2026-05-11 passed with a noted issue regarding the nearside front tyre. There is a clear recurring mechanical pattern involving the suspension components, as evidenced by the failure in May 2024 where multiple shock absorbers had serious fluid leaks. The trend in the MOT history shows a pattern of intermittent failure, with a significant mechanical fault appearing in 2024, followed by successful inspections. This suggests the vehicle's condition has been stable between major inspections, but the previous failure indicates potential ongoing issues with the suspension system. The mileage of 68,610 miles for a 2013 model suggests a relatively low annual mileage of approximately 5,278 miles per year. This lower mileage could indicate lighter use or extended periods of standing, which might explain why the vehicle has passed subsequent inspections, although it does not rule out wear on other components. A buyer should immediately inspect the suspension system thoroughly, paying close attention to any signs of fluid leaks or damage around the shock absorbers, as this was a significant fault previously recorded. Secondly, check the tread depth of all tyres, particularly the nearside front tyre, to ensure it meets legal requirements. Finally, given the history, a detailed visual inspection of the underbody for any signs of previous fluid leaks or component wear is highly recommended.
