2013 Vauxhall Agila 1.0L Petrol · CV13 VLO

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clean mechanical history over the last four years. The most recent test on 19 June 2025 at 29,955 miles returned a pass with no recorded defects, despite an initial failure noted on the same day. This suggests a minor issue was identified and rectified immediately prior to the retest, as the vehicle has since maintained its structural and mechanical integrity throughout the documented testing period. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a thirteen-year-old Vauxhall, averaging approximately 2,300 miles per annum. Between June 2022 and June 2023, the car covered only 543 miles, while a more significant increase of 4,929 miles occurred between the May 2024 and June 2025 tests. These figures indicate intermittent usage. While this low mileage typically reduces wear on the engine and drivetrain, the long intervals of minimal use can often lead to the degradation of rubber components, fluid acidity, and brake corrosion from lack of movement. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components affected by low-mileage storage and age. Check for surface corrosion on the brake discs and seized calipers, which frequently occur when vehicles sit for extended periods. Examine the suspension bushes and tyre boots for cracking or dry rot, as rubber elements age out regardless of the distance driven. Given the low mileage, verify the manufacture date on the tyres to ensure they have not become brittle, as the MOT record shows they may not require replacement based on tread depth alone.
