2009 Vauxhall Agila 1.0L Petrol · CV09 SYP

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status following its most recent MOT test on 28 September 2024 at 62,565 miles. While the car passed with no defects recorded on that date, the immediate failure on the same day suggests a specific fault was rectified quickly prior to the retest. The history of clean passes in 2023 and early 2022 indicates that the vehicle is currently maintained without significant mechanical degradation or structural failure. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a 17-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,680 miles per year. Between the August 2022 test at 48,442 miles and the September 2024 test at 62,565 miles, the car covered 14,123 miles. This low annual usage often reduces the wear on the engine and drivetrain components, though it increases the risk of age-related degradation in rubber components, perished seals, and seized brake components due to long periods of inactivity. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the structural integrity of the chassiswork, as low-mileage vehicles from this era are prone to corrosion regardless of distance travelled. Given the intermittent failures in 2022 and 2024, a close look at the suspension bushes and brake discs is necessary to check for uneven wear or pitting. Verify the tyre condition for signs of cracking and ensure that the low mileage has not led to neglected fluid leaks or perished hoses within the braking system.
