2010 Vauxhall Agila 1.2L Petrol · FV10 AEW

The 2010 Vauxhall Agila demonstrates stable roadworthiness, with no defects recorded in its last three MOT tests from 2023 to 2025. The most recent 2025-10-16 test at 52,861 miles confirmed compliance, and prior annual tests showed consistent passing results. A single 2022-10-06 failure occurred but was resolved before the subsequent 2022-10-08 test, indicating proactive maintenance. No recurring mechanical issues or escalating defects are evident in the record, suggesting the vehicle has been well-maintained. Mileage progression shows a steady annual increase of approximately 4,000–4,500 miles, aligning with the vehicle’s low usage profile for its age. The 2022-10-06 failure occurred at 40,506 miles, followed by a 28-mile jump to 40,534 miles just two days later, implying minimal operation during that period. This pattern suggests periods of inactivity, which could affect components like brake calipers, suspension bushes, or battery health. The absence of corrosion, structural damage, or emission-related advisories in the record is reassuring but does not eliminate the need for physical inspection. Buyers should prioritise checking suspension components for wear, particularly coil springs and bushes, given the low mileage and potential for static degradation. Brake systems should be tested for binding or uneven wear, as prolonged inactivity may cause caliper stiffness. A thorough underbody inspection is recommended to assess rust or corrosion, which can develop in vehicles with limited use. While the MOT history reflects no critical failures, the vehicle’s age and mileage pattern necessitate a detailed mechanical check to confirm component integrity beyond recorded tests.
