2011 Vauxhall Agila 1.0L Petrol · ND60 WPL

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a trend of accelerating structural corrosion and mechanical wear. While it passed its most recent test in October 2025 at 94,792 miles, this followed a significant failure just two days prior at 94,710 miles. That failure highlighted a cascade of issues including a major exhaust leak, failing parking brake, and multiple worn ball joints. Although these immediate faults appear to have been addressed, the persistence of corrosion across the chassis suggests the vehicle is entering a stage of increasing structural degradation. The recorded mileage of 94,792 miles over 15 years reflects an annual average of approximately 6,300 miles. This low annual usage is consistent with typical light use for a car of this age. The data shows steady progression, with roughly 10,000 miles covered between November 2023 and October 2025. However, the low mileage has not prevented the age-related degradation of rubber and metal components, as evidenced by the recurring perishing of tyres and the corrosion of fuel pipes and brake cylinders noted in multiple advisories. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the sub-frame and rear suspension mounting points. The tester consistently flagged corrosion on the front sub-frame and rear axle mounts since 2023, and the October 2024 failure specifically identified excessive corrosion on the nearside rear mounting area that significantly reduced structural strength. It is vital to verify if this rust has progressed beyond the surface level. Additionally, the rear brake system should be checked for further binding or leaks, as the record shows a persistent issue with corroded cylinders and binding calipers over the last two years.
