The VAUXHALL ADAM (2012-20) 3DR HATCHBACK 1.4 16V ECOFLEX SS 100 EU5 JAM STYLE is a small three-door city car for buyers wanting easy parking and more personality than a basic runabout. It competes with the Fiat 500 and MINI for style-conscious urban buyers in the UK small-car market today. mycarcheck.com has recorded 78 checks covering 35 different VINs, offering a useful snapshot rather than a huge sample. These cars averaged 65,000 miles and around 5,000 miles a year, with roughly 1.7 previous keepers. The average private-sale valuation was £4,000, a helpful guide, not a guaranteed asking price today. With a 1.4-litre petrol engine and stop-start technology intended to save fuel, this Adam suits town journeys and commuting. JAM adds youthful styling, while its compact three-door layout works well for singles, couples or first-time drivers. Rear-seat access is limited, but looks and personalisation help it stand apart from rivals.
