2011 Vauxhall Agila 1.2L Petrol · DA60 UWS

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status following its most recent MOT pass in August 2025 at 49,217 miles. The maintenance trend shows signs of improvement as the owner has addressed several critical failures identified in mid-2023. While the most recent test noted a slightly high handbrake, the resolution of previous brake pipe and suspension issues indicates that the vehicle is being maintained to meet legal standards rather than allowed to fall into a state of neglect. At 49,217 miles over 15 years, this Agila has covered exceptionally low mileage, averaging approximately 3,200 miles per year. This low usage suggests short-distance trips, which typically reduces wear on the engine and drivetrain components. The data history shows a consistent annual testing pattern, with roughly 3,000 miles recorded between each inspection from 2022 to 2025. However, low mileage on older vehicles often leads to the degradation of rubber components and seals due to inactivity rather than friction from use. A buyer should scrutinise the front suspension closely, as worn arm bushes were flagged as a recurring issue across 2022 and 2023. Although these were cleared, the low mileage can cause rubber to perish and crack over time. The braking system also requires physical inspection; the history shows a corroded rear brake pipe in 2023 and a binding nearside rear caliper in 2024. You must verify that the brake pipe was actually replaced and that the caliper piston remains free of sticking, as these issues are common in vehicles that sit for long periods.
