2009 Vauxhall Agila 1.2L Petrol · ML09 ACF

The Vauxhall Agila presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, evidenced by the most recent DVSA test on 22 October 2025 at 90,260 miles returning a pass with no defects recorded. Prior to that, the October 2024 and October 2023 tests each showed a pass and a same-day fail logged at identical mileages of 85,774 and 83,285 respectively, yet the failure entries carry no defects. This pattern suggests administrative rejections or data anomalies rather than mechanical faults, and the vehicle has cleared every examination that counted. The odometer shows 90,260 miles against a 2009 build, averaging roughly 5,300 miles per year. The record is sparse but clean between tests: 83,285 miles on 9 October 2023, 85,774 on 23 October 2024, and 90,260 on 22 October 2025. That equates to about 2,500 to 4,500 miles annually, confirming light use. Low annual mileage over seventeen years often means prolonged standing periods, which can allow corrosion to develop on brake discs, suspension components, and underbody structure even when the car appears sound on paper. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of the braking system, focusing on potential binding calipers or seized handbrake mechanisms from disuse. The tester logged no advisories on any pass, so there is no recorded wear on tyres, exhaust emissions, or suspension bushes to chase. Given the age, examine sills, subframes, and coil spring seats for structural rust that a static MOT may miss. The same-day fail entries without defects warrant a check of the DVSA certificate history to confirm no suppressed mechanical concern sits behind the administrative flag.
