2014 Vauxhall Adam 1.2L Petrol · YP14 FKW

The 2014 Vauxhall Adam presents a currently roadworthy status following a clean pass on 31 October 2025 at 53,679 miles, with the maintenance trend appearing stable across the recent record. The vehicle carries no recorded defects or advisories in any of its three passes, and the only blemishes are two administrative failures logged one day before each subsequent pass, both at near-identical mileages and with no defects cited by the tester. Recorded mileage sits at 53,679 against an eleven-year lifespan, equating to roughly 4,470 miles per year and marking genuinely low use for the age. The data shows a curious plateau between 6 November 2023 and 31 October 2024 where the odometer read 47,444 then dropped to 47,242, indicating a clerical correction rather than real retreat; otherwise accumulation is gentle. A jump from 47,242 to 53,672 across the following twelve months is modest and consistent with light urban commuting. The two failure entries of 30 October 2025 at 53,672 miles and 2 November 2023 at 47,435 miles demand scrutiny despite the no-defects annotation. DVSA systems log such outcomes where presentation paperwork or identification mismatches block certification rather than mechanical fault, yet a buyer should confirm with the selling garage that no suppressed advisory existed on those days. Given the clean pass history, no suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, or corrosion items have been flagged. In person, the buyer should still verify structural integrity at sills and subframes for hidden rust, check tyre sidewall condition after the long low-mileage standing periods, and confirm the exhaust emissions match the clean 2025 result. The sparse record offers no warning of worsening mechanical risk, but low annual use can mask perished rubber components that a static MOT bay will not stress.
