2009 Vauxhall Agila 1.2L Petrol · CP09 NHK

The most recent MOT on 2026-04-16 shows the vehicle passed but with several advisories and a separate failed test on the same date. The failed entry lists a nearside rear service brake excessively binding, a critical safety issue requiring immediate attention. The passed test notes worn front suspension bushes, thin brake pads, and a damaged offside rear tyre. These issues suggest ongoing maintenance needs, particularly with braking and suspension components. Recurring defects include front suspension bush wear, first recorded in 2023 and reappearing in 2026. Brake-related issues, such as worn discs and pads, also persist, indicating potential neglect or gradual deterioration. The offside rear tyre’s condition worsened between the failed and passed tests, raising concerns about its structural integrity. While the 2025 and 2024 MOTs were clean, the 2026 results highlight a shift toward more frequent defects, suggesting a possible worsening trend. The vehicle’s low mileage of 26,642 miles (1,567 annual average) is unusual for its 17-year age. This could imply periods of inactivity, which may accelerate wear on rubber components (e.g., tyres, seals) or lead to seized mechanisms.
