2009 Vauxhall Agila 1.2L Petrol · DU59 NFJ

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status with a clean MOT record following a period of mechanical concern. The most recent test in January 2026 at 64,892 miles resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories. This indicates that the mechanical issues identified in previous years have been addressed, and the vehicle has maintained a high standard of compliance with DVSA requirements over the last three years of testing. The mileage profile is notably low for a seventeen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,800 miles per year. The data shows a significant drop in usage between 2023 and 2025, where only 2,610 miles were covered, followed by a more rapid accumulation of 7,013 miles in the most recent year. While the low mileage reduces general wear on the engine and drivetrain, long periods of low use often lead to dry rot in rubber components or internal corrosion within brake lines that is not frequently flushed by use. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the braking system and undercarriage to verify the repairs made after 2021. The tester previously flagged corroded rear brake pipes and a binding nearside rear brake, alongside pitted front brake discs. Although the current records are clean, the buyer must check for signs of fluid leaks at the pipe unions and ensure the calipers are not currently seizing. Given the age of the Agila, a thorough check for structural corrosion on the sills and floor pans is also essential, as low-mileage vehicles often hide surface rust that progresses without mechanical friction.
