2008 Vauxhall Agila 1.2L Petrol · R28 CAG

The Vauxhall Agila passed its most recent MOT on 3 March 2026 at 123,946 miles with no defects recorded, leaving it roadworthy as of that test. The maintenance trend is stable on paper, though the history shows a recurring pattern of same-week failure followed by immediate pass, which points to administrative or presentation issues rather than progressive mechanical decline. Mileage sits at 123,946 against an 18-year life, averaging roughly 6,886 miles per year, which is typical for the age. The record moves cleanly from 107,335 miles on 25 January 2024 to 114,612 at the January 2025 test, then to 123,944 by February 2026. No rapid accumulation or unexplained gaps appear in the data, and the sparse clean advisories suggest either light use or a test regime that logged no wear items. The buyer should note the twin failure-pass pairs at 114,608 and 123,944 miles on consecutive days in 2025 and 2026. With no defects listed on either the failures or passes, the cause was likely documentation or a retest after minor correction off-record. In person, verify the suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs and calipers for any hidden binding or corrosion the tester omitted, and confirm the exhaust emissions and structural integrity match the clean readings. Given the car's age and the absence of logged advisories across five tests, previous owners appear to have kept basic statutory testing current. A physical inspection remains essential to catch consumable wear or structural rust that the MOT entries did not capture.
