The VAUXHALL ADAM (2012-20) 3DR HATCHBACK 1.4 16V ECOFLEX SS 87 EU5 JAM EXTREME is a compact, three-door city car with distinctive styling, made for busy streets and simple parking. It offers a playful alternative to small hatchbacks, competing with cars such as the Fiat 500 and MINI, and suits buyers who want a characterful runabout. mycarcheck.com has recorded 46 checks covering 23 different VINs, offering a useful snapshot rather than a complete picture of every car. Those checks show an average private-sale valuation of £3,700, average recorded mileage of 76,000 miles and around 5,000 miles driven annually; sampled cars had about 2.7 previous keepers overall. The 1.4-litre petrol engine and stop-start system make it a sensible choice for everyday trips, especially for singles, couples or first-time drivers; its small rear seats and boot are less suited to family duties. Check service history and condition, as with any used car.
