2009 VAUXHALL AGILA1.2L Petrol

The Vauxhall Agila presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, evidenced by the most recent test on 11 July 2025 at 58,746 miles returning a pass with no defects recorded. Prior tests show the same clean pattern, with passes logged on 5 July 2024 at 57,202 miles, 22 July 2023 at 50,612 miles, and 22 July 2022 at 41,153 miles. The single failure on 5 July 2024 at 57,202 miles carries no recorded defects, indicating an administrative or non-mechanical rejection rather than a fault with the vehicle itself. At roughly 17 years old the car shows 58,746 recorded miles, an average of about 3,456 miles per year. The odometer moved 9,059 miles between July 2022 and July 2023, then only 6,590 miles to July 2024 and 1,544 miles to July 2025. This low and slowing annual use suggests extended standing periods, which on a 2009 hatchback typically accelerates perishable component degradation such as tyre sidewall cracking, brake caliper seizure, and underbody corrosion even where the MOT shows no advisories. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the vehicle's age and low-use profile. Standing time promotes surface rust on brake components and structural members; the clean MOT history offers no assurance against latent corrosion the tester did not flag. Check the exhaust system and emissions hardware closely, as 17-year-old Vauxhall petrol units often develop mild manifold or joint leaks unseen at test. Verify tyre manufacture dates and tread condition, since low mileage does not prevent age-related rubber hardening on a car of this vintage.
