2011 Vauxhall Agila 1.2L Petrol · LR61 WHZ

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance history shows a trend of developing component degradation that requires immediate attention. The most recent test in May 2026 at 78,854 miles identified corrosion on both the nearside and offside rear brake pipes. While the vehicle passed, the presence of grease covering these pipes suggests an attempt to mask surface rust rather than treat the oxidation. This marks a shift from minor consumable wear to more significant mechanical system deterioration. The mileage profile reflects low usage for a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 5,200 miles per year. Data shows consistent intervals over the years, moving from 46,615 miles in June 2022 to 78,854 miles in 2026. However, the low-frequency driving often correlates with accelerated aging of rubber components. This is evidenced by the recurring advisories for perishing and cracking tyres across three different annual tests in 2022, 2023, and 2025. A buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the suspension and braking systems. The 2022 test noted oil misting on both front and rear shock absorbers, which should be checked for active leaks that indicate failure. The 2025 advisory regarding a damaged offside front track rod end dust cover indicates the beginning of steering linkage wear that can affect handling. Furthermore, the 2024 report of uneven wear on the nearside front tyre suggests an alignment issue or worn suspension bushes that should be verified to prevent premature failure of new rubber.
