2004 Vauxhall Agila 1.0L Petrol · SM54 YEC

The vehicle presents a roadworthy status, but the maintenance history indicates a trend of reactive rather than proactive upkeep. While the car passed the November 2025 test at 119,059 miles, this followed a significant failure just eight days prior at 118,852 miles. The most recent report reveals multiple advisories regarding front suspension components, tyres, and braking surfaces, suggesting that while the vehicle is currently legal, several mechanical parts are nearing the end of their functional life. At 22 years old, the vehicle has covered 119,059 miles, averaging approximately 5,400 miles per year. This low-mileage profile masked a notable spike in usage; between November 2023 (84,794 miles) and November 2025 (119,059 miles), the car covered over 34,000 miles in just two years. This accelerated use likely explains the rapid deterioration of heavily such as tyres, brake discs, and rubberwork noted in the later testing periods. A buyer must physically inspect the front suspension and steering, as the drag link end and steering several inner joints have been flagged for play across multiple years. The corrosion noted on both front coil springs is a recurring issue that could eventually lead to structural failure if the metal continues to degrade. Furthermore, the pitted and scored front brake discs, combined with worn-edge tyres, indicate that the safety-critical components are being replaced only after they reach warning thresholds.
