2004 Vauxhall Agila 1.2L Petrol · CV54 WNX

The Vauxhall Agila shows a current roadworthy status following the March 2024 pass at 115,479 miles, though the record is unstable due to repeated failures on the same dates with no defects logged. The maintenance trend is neither improving nor worsening in mechanical terms, but the administrative pattern reveals chaotic test handling. In March 2024 the vehicle failed and passed on the same day at 115,479 miles, and in March 2023 it did the same at 104,268 miles, with a further unexplained failure at 102,843 miles in February 2023. These paired outcomes suggest clerical or process errors at the testing station rather than progressive deterioration. At roughly 22 years old the Agila carries 115,479 miles, equating to about 5,249 miles per year, which is low for its age. The odometer moved from 102,843 miles in February 2023 to 104,268 miles in March 2023, then to 115,479 miles by March 2024, showing a modest annual accumulation of under 12,000 miles. No long dormant gaps or sudden mileage spikes appear, and the clean defect history across all entries indicates the previous keeper kept consumables and structure within test limits, though the duplicate fail-pass logs hint at poor record discipline rather than neglect of the car itself. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the vehicle's age and the absence of advisories in the record, which may reflect minimal scrutiny rather than confirmed soundness. Structural corrosion around sills and subframes warrants close checking, as 2004 Vauxhall bodies are prone to hidden rust despite a clean MOT trail. The tester logged no binding calipers or exhaust emission faults, but the repeated same-day failures without recorded defects mean the paper history alone offers weak assurance of consistent care.
