2004 Vauxhall Agila 1.0L Petrol · SK04 AFH

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status with a stable maintenance trend following a period of reactive repairs. The most recent test in September 2025 at 43,703 miles resulted in no defects, indicating that the owner successfully addressed previous issues identified in the prior year. This represents an improvement from the September 2024 failure where the car was grounded for critical safety faults, including a fractured rear coil spring and dangerously worn tyres. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a 22-year-old vehicle, averaging under 2,000 miles per year. There is a significant data gap between March 2014 and September 2023, during which the car covered only approximately 1,000 miles over nearly a decade. While low mileage generally reduces mechanical wear on the engine and drivetrain, long periods of standing often lead to perished rubber components and seals. The recent increase of 3,700 miles between 2023 and 2025 suggests a return to regular use. A physical inspection should focus on the braking and suspension systems, which have shown vulnerability in the past. The 2023 test flagged a corroded brake pipe covered in grease, which often indicates an attempt to hide rust or poor maintenance of fluid lines. Given the 2024 failure for a broken coil spring, the buyer should inspect all suspension components and bushings for signs of stress or corrosion. Because of the age and low mileage, the tyres must also be checked for dry rot and sidewall cracking which occurs despite sufficient tread depth.
