2009 Vauxhall Agila 1.0L Petrol · KX09 PSZ

The Vauxhall Agila’s most recent MOT test on 2025-10-02 at 39,812 miles passed without any defects, confirming it remains roadworthy under current DVSA standards. The test history since 2022 shows a stable pattern of annual testing with no recurring failures, though the 2024 cycle included a duplicate entry (both a pass and a fail at 38,586 miles) which may indicate administrative confusion rather than mechanical issues. No advisories or major component failures have been recorded, suggesting the vehicle has been maintained at a basic level without catastrophic wear. However, the lack of defects does not preclude hidden issues—particularly in areas not routinely inspected, such as underbody corrosion or internal suspension wear. The recorded mileage of 39,812 miles over 17 years equates to approximately 2,342 miles annually, which is unusually low for a vehicle of this age. The gaps between tests—consistently around 12 months—align with legal requirements but do not reflect typical usage patterns for a car this old. The most notable anomaly is the identical mileage (38,586) for both the failed and passed tests in October 2024, which could imply either a retest after a minor oversight or an error in the record. Such low mileage may suggest the vehicle has spent extended periods stationary, potentially accelerating issues like battery degradation or fluid breakdown in underused systems. Given the clean MOT record, a buyer should prioritise a thorough inspection of suspension components, particularly the bushes and coil springs, as these are common wear items not always flagged in a standard test. The absence of brake-related failures does not guarantee current condition—binding calipers, uneven disc wear, or corrosion on brake hardware could develop without visible tread issues. Underbody corrosion, especially around the sills, wheel arches, and subframe, is a critical concern for a vehicle this age, even if not previously noted. Additionally, verify the condition of the exhaust system for leaks or rust-through, as emissions-related failures are not always captured in basic MOT tests. A pre-purchase inspection with a specialist focusing on structural integrity and hidden wear is strongly advised.
