2014 Vauxhall Adam 1.4L Petrol · YW08 ETH

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status, following a clean pass on December 16, 2024, 66,992 miles. Although the record shows a failure on that same date with no listed defects, the immediate pass suggests a minor administrative error or a trivial consumable issue that was rectified instantly. Since the October 2023 test, the car has maintained no recorded advisories, indicating a consistent mechanical standard during its recent operating history. At 12 years old, the Vauxhall Adam shows an average of approximately 5,583 miles per year, which is significantly below the national average for its age. The data reveals a distinct period of low usage, with only 1,018 miles covered between April 2022 and October 2022, followed by a larger gap of 9,755 miles between October 2023 and December 2024. This low-mileage profile generally suggests less mechanical wear on the drivetrain and engine components, though it increases the likelihood of age in rubber-based components or brake corrosion if the vehicle sat stationary for extended periods. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components prone to age-related degradation rather than mileage-based wear. Inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs for cracking or perished rubber, as these become brittle over time despite low mileage. Given the low usage, also look for signs of surface rust on the brake discs or seized calipers which often occur when vehicles are not driven frequently. The structural integrity of the chassis should be checked for corrosion, although the MOT history shows no history of structural-related failures.
