2004 Vauxhall Agila 1.2L Petrol · LB04 AEJ

A pattern of consistent roadworthiness is evident from the available documentation, with the most recent MOT test on 10 February 2022 showing no recorded defects. This clean result suggests that the vehicle's essential safety components were functioning within acceptable parameters at that time. However, as there are no recorded tests between February 2022 and the current date in September 2026, the current mechanical status of the vehicle cannot be verified through official DVSA records. The vehicle has covered 135,709 miles over its 22-year lifespan, which equates to an average annual accumulation of approximately 6,169 miles. This represents a relatively low-to-typical usage profile for a vehicle of this age. Mechanically, this level of mileage suggests that while the drivetrain and engine components may not have faced extreme high-frequency use, the vehicle has likely experienced the standard age-related degradation of rubber components, such as suspension bushes and engine mounts, as well as potential corrosion on exhaust systems and brake lines due to the age of the chassis. Because the last recorded inspection occurred over four years ago, a physical inspection is critical to identify any deterioration that has occurred since the 2022 pass. A prospective buyer should pay close attention to the underside of the vehicle for signs of structural corrosion or significant rust on the subframes and sills. During a test drive, listen for any knocking or clunking sounds when traversing uneven surfaces, which could indicate worn suspension linkages or failing shock absorbers. Furthermore, the braking system and steering should be thoroughly evaluated. Check for any pulling to one side during braking or a pulsating sensation through the brake pedal, which may point to warped discs or binding calipers. Given the age and the time elapsed since the last MOT, it is also necessary to inspect for any fluid leaks from the engine or gearbox and to ensure that all lighting and signal components are fully operational.
