2013 Vauxhall Agila 1.2L Petrol · RF62 NSN

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a pass in October 2025, but the recent history reveals a pattern of reactive rather than proactive maintenance. The failure on 16 October 2025 at 131,148 miles highlighted several critical safety-related issues, including significantly worn front brake discs, a binding rear caliper, and insufficient parking brake efficiency. While the vehicle passed the following day after repairs, the density of mechanical failures in that single session suggests that components were only addressed once forced by a failing MOT test result. At 131,172 miles over 13 years, the Agila averages approximately 10,000 miles per year, which aligns with typical usage for a vehicle of this age. There is a notable two-year gap between the April 2022 and November 2024 tests, during which the car covered only 4,000 miles. The more recent interval shows 4,866 miles covered between late 2024 and October 2025, indicating a recent increase in usage that likely accelerated the wear observed on the braking system and rubber components. A buyer must personally inspect the braking system thoroughly, as the record shows a binding caliper and worn discs appearing in quick succession. The persistent oil leak noted in the October 2025 test requires close monitoring to ensure it remains a minor weep rather than a developing sump gasket or engine seal failure. Given the history of tyre failures, including structural bulges and perishing, the age and condition of all four tyres should be checked for sidewall damage and cracking to ensure the previous owner has not neglected basic consumable upkeep.
