2004 Vauxhall Agila 1.0L Petrol · CV04 EVF

The Vauxhall Agila presents as roadworthy on the most recent test, with a clean pass recorded on 12 June 2023 at 52,153 miles showing no defects or advisories. The maintenance trend is stable across the available history, with no worsening mechanical faults flagged between 2021 and 2023. The owner cleared both failed entries on the same day as the passes in 2022 and 2023, suggesting administrative or presentation issues at the test centre rather than unresolved defects. The recorded mileage sits at 52,153 miles against a 2004 build, averaging roughly 2,371 miles per year. The car added only 759 miles between the 25 June 2021 test at 50,649 miles and the 2 June 2022 test at 51,408 miles, then a further 745 miles to the 12 June 2023 test at 52,153 miles. Such low annual use over 22 years implies long standing periods, which commonly accelerates perishing of rubber suspension bushes, degraded brake caliper seals, and surface corrosion on structural underbody members even where the MOT shows a clear sheet. A buyer should physically inspect the front and rear suspension arms for cracked or hardened bushes, and confirm the brake discs are free of rust pitting from disuse. The exhaust system and subframe should be checked for corrosion that a clean MOT may not capture if only superficial at test time. Given the twin failed-then-passed entries on identical dates and mileages in 2022 and 2023, verify the V5C and DVSA portal to confirm no suppressed defect data exists before purchase.
