The VAUXHALL ADAM (2012-20) is a small, three-door city car, designed for town driving and easy parking rather than family-sized journeys. It brought Vauxhall a more fashion-led option than the practical Corsa, competing with cars such as the Fiat 500 and MINI. Its distinctive looks and customisation helped it stand out. mycarcheck.com has recorded 26,659 checks covering 11,377 different VINs, giving a substantial snapshot of used ADAMs. Its data shows an average private-sale value of £5,300 and average recorded mileage of 49,000 miles. Typical annual mileage is 6,000 miles, while cars have had just over two previous keepers on average. That pattern suggests many are used for shorter commutes, errands and urban trips, making the ADAM a fit for singles, couples and first-time drivers. It is less suited to passengers or bulky loads, but offers a personal alternative to basic city cars, with an engaging feel and easy-to-live-with size.
