Fitment on a used central locking motor varies by vehicle, so a bit of detail goes a long way. Our request form covers what breakers need to know, so every quote you get back is for the correct part:
Yes, the Vauxhall Adam was fitted with central locking, and central locking motors (also called door lock actuators) are genuine components on this car, located inside the door assemblies. Each door typically has its own actuator, so you'll need to specify which door — driver's (OS), passenger's (NS), or rear — when getting quotes from breakers.
The Vauxhall Adam was produced from 2013 and received a facelift around 2017, so both a 2013 and a 2016 car sit within the same pre-facelift generation and the actuators are very likely to be compatible. That said, confirm the part number against your registration with the breaker before buying, as minor running changes can occur within a generation without a formal facelift.
Trim level does not affect the central locking motor — the Jam, Glam, and Slam trims all use the same door lock actuators on the same bodyshell. You may find cosmetic differences between doors from different trim levels, such as different interior door pull finishes, but the actuator mechanism itself is interchangeable regardless of trim.
The Adam shares some engineering DNA with the Corsa D era, and in some cases door components can cross over, but this is not something that can be confirmed as a blanket rule — part numbers and door geometry can differ. Ask the breaker to check the actuator part number against your Adam's registration before purchasing any Corsa-sourced part.
The Adam facelift arrived around 2017 and while it was largely a cosmetic update, whether door lock actuators cross over between pre- and post-facelift cars is not something that can be stated with certainty. Name the boundary to your breaker — pre-2017 versus 2017-onwards — and ask them to verify the part number matches your specific registration before agreeing to buy.
Used actuators from a breaker are a cost-effective option for the Adam and are commonly available given the model's popularity in the UK used-parts market. Make sure the breaker can confirm the part came from a car with a working central locking system, and always check whether it's for the correct door position (OS front, NS front, OS rear, NS rear) as these are not all interchangeable with each other.
