2005 Vauxhall Agila 1.2L Petrol · CW05 PFD

The Vauxhall Agila presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, confirmed by the most recent DVSA test on 21 October 2025 at 75,615 miles which recorded no defects. Prior to that, the 29 October 2024 test at 75,193 miles also passed clean. The only blemish in the sequence is a failure on 2 October 2024 at 75,187 miles, though the record lists no specific defects, suggesting an administrative or presentation issue rather than a mechanical fault. Overall, the test history shows no worsening pattern and no recurring advisories. The odometer reflects exceptionally low use for a 21-year-old vehicle, totalling 75,615 miles or roughly 3,601 miles per year. From the 3 October 2023 test at 74,624 miles to the 3 October 2022 figure of 73,945 miles, the car covered just 679 miles in twelve months. Between October 2023 and October 2024 it added 569 miles, then only 422 miles to the October 2025 pass. Such limited annual mileage implies long standing periods, which can allow corrosion and perished rubber components to develop unseen despite clean MOT outcomes. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake calipers, as low-mileage Vauxhalls of this era commonly suffer from seizing due to inactivity rather than wear. The MOT data shows no flagged structural integrity concerns or exhaust emissions failures, but DVSA tests do not strip panels. Check underneath for corrosion to sills and subframes. Given the sparse and clean record, previous owners appear to have stored the car rather than neglected it, though the unexplained 2024 failure warrants a check of the original refusal notice. Verify service history and confirm timing belt replacement, as age-related degradation outpaces mileage on this model.
