2009 Vauxhall Agila 1.0L Petrol · LR09 UYY

The vehicle presents a stable maintenance profile with a clean recent history. The most recent test on 8 December 2025 at 108,532 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. This follows two consecutive years of clean passes in 2024 and 2023, indicating that the vehicle has moved past previous minor issues. The failure on 11 December 2023 for a non-functional nearside stop lamp appears to have been a simple bulb replacement rather than a symptom of mechanical neglect. Mileage accumulation remains consistent with the vehicle's age, averaging approximately 6,384 miles per year. The records show steady progression, such as the 4,402-mile increase between December 2024 and December 2025. There are no significant gaps in usage or periods of long-term inactivity evident in the data. This regular usage pattern typically suggests the vehicle has been driven frequently enough to maintain basic mechanical functions and prevent component seizure. The historical record shows minor consumable wear rather than systemic mechanical failure. Early advisories regarding tyre tread and registration plate deterioration in 2013 and 2014 suggest basic upkeep was occasionally deferred, but these issues did not recur. A suspension ball joint movement noted in the December 2017 test at 63,894 miles was the only significant mechanical advisory, yet the subsequent five years of clean tests suggest this was either rectified or the wear was negligible. A prospective buyer should focus their physical inspection on the suspension components and tyre condition. While the MOT history is clean, the 2017 suspension advisory warrants a check for play in the ball joints and bushes. Given the age of the vehicle, inspecting the condition of rubber seals and checking for any signs of corrosion on the underside remains a prudent step, despite the lack of recent structural advisories.
