2009 Vauxhall Agila 1.2L Petrol · KP58 HSK

The vehicle remains roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a pattern of reactive repairs rather than preventative care. The most recent test in February 2026 at 89,616 miles passed despite a failure regarding the central rear stop lamp. This specific fault is recurring, having appeared in 2023, 2024, and 2026, indicating a consistent oversight in basic electrical bulb checks. While the car consistently passes its annual inspections, the persistence of minor lighting failures suggests the owner only addresses issues once they trigger an MOT failure. The mileage profile is notably low for a 17-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,272 miles per year. Between February 2023 and February 2026, the car covered 7,904 miles, which confirms the low-usage status. While low mileage often reduces wear on the engine and drivetrain, it can lead to the degradation of rubber components due to age rather than mechanical use. The data shows a consistent annual accumulation of roughly 2,700 miles in recent years, suggesting stable use without long periods of abandonment. A buyer should focus inspection on the front suspension, as the record highlights a developing trend of wear. MacPherson strut pins and bushes were flagged as worn in both 2024 and 2025, and a nearside lower suspension arm ball joint caused a failure in early 2023. Although these components did not result in a recent failure, the recurring advisories suggest the bushings and joints are nearing the end of their life. Additionally, the 2024 advisory for front tyres worn to the legal limit implies that tyre management should be checked for uneven wear, which could indicate alignment issues.
