2009 Vauxhall Agila 1.2L Petrol · ML09 ACJ

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status, having achieved a clean pass on 15 December 2025 at 74,119 miles. The maintenance trend appears improving, as the car has moved from failing its tests in previous years to recording no defects in the two most recent inspections. This shift from failure to a clean certificate suggests that the current owner has been proactive in identifying and rectifying mechanical issues that previously prevented a pass. The mileage profile is notably low for a vehicle from 2009, averaging approximately 4,360 miles per year. The data shows consistent but light usage, with 2,236 miles covered between November 2023 and November 2024, and another 6,031 miles recorded by the 2025 test. While low mileage generally reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine, long intervals between tests can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber components or surface corrosion on braking hardware due to lack of frequent mechanical exercise. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the areas that caused the failures in 2023 and 2024, although the specific fault codes were not listed in the summary. The recurring failures at low mileages often point to components that age with time rather than distance, such as perished suspension bushes or degraded exhaust sections. Given the age of the Agila, a thorough check of the structural integrity along the sills and wheel arches is essential to ensure that corrosion has not compromised the chassis despite the clean recent MOT results.
