VAUXHALL ADAM (2012-20) 3DR HATCHBACK 1.4 16V 87 EU5 JAM

Buyer's Guide & Data from our Checks
The VAUXHALL ADAM (2012-20) 3DR HATCHBACK 1.4 16V 87 EU5 JAM is a small, three-door city car, aimed at drivers wanting easy parking and an individual look rather than a supermini’s usual styling. In the UK used-car market, it sits alongside the Fiat 500 and MINI, prioritising style and personalisation over maximum space.
The 1.4-litre petrol engine offers everyday performance for commuting, shopping and short trips, while the compact cabin suits singles, couples and first-time drivers more than families needing rear-seat or boot space. Its JAM trim brings a youthful feel, and the Adam’s styling helps it stand out among practical, often plainer small hatchbacks.
