2010 Vauxhall Agila 1.0L Petrol · LS10 VPR

The Vauxhall Agila presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, confirmed by the most recent DVSA test on 14 August 2025 at 79,622 miles where the tester recorded no defects. The three preceding annual tests from August 2022 through August 2024 also passed cleanly with no advisories logged, showing consistent mechanical condition across the recorded period. The odometer shows 79,622 miles against a 2010 build date, equating to roughly 4,976 miles per year and marking this as a low-use vehicle for its sixteen years. Annual increments stay tight: 74,366 miles in August 2022, 75,767 by August 2023, 77,806 in August 2024, and 79,622 in August 2025. The only anomaly is the 8 August 2023 failure at 75,760 miles, retested and passed three days later at 75,767 miles with no defects cited either time, suggesting an administrative or non-mechanical rejection rather than a worn component. Given the clean advisory history, the record implies the previous keeper maintained basic upkeep and avoided letting consumables like tyres, brake discs, or suspension bushes degrade to test-flagged condition. Low mileage combined with a clean sheet reduces expected drivetrain fatigue, though long standing periods can still encourage corrosion on structural members and seizing of brake calipers. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection beneath the sills, subframe, and suspension mounts for rust, and confirm the brakes are free from binding after the car's likely idle spells. The absence of recorded faults means no recurring mechanical trend to chase, but a sixteen-year-old Vauxhall warrants a hands-on check of exhaust emissions integrity and coil spring condition that paper tests alone will not expose.
