The VAUXHALL ADAM (2012-20) 3DR HATCHBACK 1.2I 70 EU6 ENERGISED is a small, three-door petrol city car for drivers seeking easy urban motoring with more personality than a runabout. It competes in the UK with models such as the Fiat 500 and MINI, prioritising style and manoeuvrability over family space. Mycarcheck.com has recorded 1,628 checks across 675 different VINs, a substantial sample for this model. Those checks show an average private-sale valuation of £7,000, average recorded mileage of 29,000 and annual mileage of 6,000. The average keeper count is about 1.5, suggesting many examples have had relatively few owners overall. The 1.2-litre engine’s 70 horsepower suits short trips, town driving and commutes, while its compact size makes parking straightforward. It is best for singles, couples or first-time drivers wanting a stylish everyday car; the rear seats and boot are less suited to family duties. Its design helps it stand apart.
