Our Verdict
This is a sensible option for a buyer seeking a low-mileage city car. The recent MOT history shows a consistent pattern of passing without defects, making it a potentially straightforward purchase.
When viewing this Agila, focus on the service history to complement the clean MOT record, as the MOT only tests safety and emissions rather than mechanical upkeep. Check that the service intervals have been met, particularly for the 1242cc engine.
Given the vehicle's age, inspect the rubber components such as wiper blades, tyre sidewalls, and door seals for signs of perishing. While the MOT history shows no defects, it is always prudent to check for any fluid leaks under the car and to ensure all electrics, including indicators and interior lights, are functioning correctly.
As a 1.2L petrol engine, this Agila is designed for economy, making it suitable for urban driving and short commutes. You can expect relatively low insurance groups and modest road tax, though you should verify the specific tax band for this 2008 registration.
Maintenance costs for this model are generally considered low due to the availability of parts. An estimated annual running cost for fuel, tax, insurance, and routine maintenance would fall within a modest bracket, suitable for a budget-conscious driver.
Since the MOT history from 2022 to 2026 shows zero defects or advisories, there are no specific recurring failure patterns to warn of for this particular vehicle. However, you should still perform a standard inspection of the braking system and tyre tread depths.
Pay close attention to the suspension components and exhaust system, as these are common areas for wear on older small cars. Additionally, check the clutch engagement and gear change smoothness, as these are not covered by the MOT test but are vital for the daily usability of a petrol city car.
This 2008 Vauxhall Agila, finished in blue, has covered 65,686 miles as of its most recent MOT in February 2026. The vehicle has maintained a consistent inspection record over the last five years, with no recorded MOT failures or advisories between 2022 and 2026. For a petrol-powered 1.2L model of this age, the mileage appears relatively low compared to typical UK averages.
No aggregate MOT reliability data is currently available for the Vauxhall Agila to provide a statistical trend.
