2018 Vauxhall Adam 1.2L Petrol · YM18 AEZ

The vehicle remains in roadworthy condition, though the most recent inspection indicates the start of a required maintenance cycle. After five consecutive years of clean passes between 2021 and 2025, the test on 17 July 2026 at 36,441 miles flagged advisories for thin nearside front brake pads and a pitted or scored brake disc. This represents a shift from a perfect record to a state where consumable components are now requiring attention. The mileage pattern is consistently low for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,555 miles per year. The data shows a steady progression of use, moving from 15,690 miles in July 2021 to the current 36,441 miles without any unexplained gaps or spikes in mileage. This low annual mileage suggests the car has seen light urban use, but it can also lead to surface corrosion on components like brake discs and suspension elements if the vehicle sat stationary for long periods between tests. A buyer should focus specifically on the front braking system to ensure the noted disc and pad are replaced before they affect the calipers or fail inspection. Given the low mileage, the physical condition of the rubber components, such as suspension bushes and sidewalls, should be checked for cracking or perishation, which often affects older cars more than mechanical wear does. The overall structural integrity appears sound as no corrosion-related advisories or failures appeared throughout the documented history.
