2014 Vauxhall Agila 1.2L Petrol · AV63 CEO

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a clean pass on 14 May 2026 at 58,338 miles. However, the maintenance trend shows a period of reactive repair rather than proactive upkeep. A significant failure in April 2026, just seven miles prior to the most recent pass, revealed multiple critical defects including worn suspension arm ball joints, thin brake pads, and a failing parking brake. While these issues have seemingly been rectified, the history indicates that mechanical components were only addressed once they reached a point of failure. At twelve years old, the recorded mileage of 58,338 miles represents a low average of approximately 4,862 miles per year. The data shows a consistent pattern of use, with roughly 7,400 miles covered between July 2024 and July 2025, and another 7,400 miles between July 2025 and April 2026. This low annual mileage often leads to the degradation of rubber-based components due to age, which aligns with the suspension wear noted in the recent tests. A buyer should specifically inspect the braking system, as the parking brake efficiency has been a recurring concern since July 2024. The tester noted the system only barely meeting requirements in two consecutive years before failing significantly in April 2026. Physical inspection of the recent work on the nearside and offside suspension ball joints is essential, as these were previously flagged as excessively worn. Given the age of the vehicle and low mileage, a check for corrosion on the chassis and exhaust lines is also advisable to ensure the structural integrity remains sound despite the low use.
