2011 Vauxhall Agila 1.0L Petrol · TWW 179

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status following a clean pass in August 2025 at 70,781 miles. The maintenance trend shows signs of improvement after a significant failure just two months prior in June 2025. That failure revealed multiple defects including a fractured offside front coil spring, defective wiper blades, and total headlamp failure. The fact that these issues were rectified for the subsequent test suggests the current owner is willing to address safety-critical faults once identified by the tester. At approximately 15 years old, this Vauxhall Agila has covered averaged only about 4,700 miles per year, which is significantly below the national average for a vehicle of this age. The mileage progression is remarkably consistent, with only one mile recorded between the June 2024 and June 2025 tests. While low mileage generally indicates less wear on the drivetrain and engine, long intervals between use can lead to the degradation of rubber components and the accumulation of surface corrosion, which aligns with the brake-related issues noted in the history. A physical inspection should focus on the structural integrity and braking system given the previous warnings. The 2024 test flagged corrosion on the front-to-rear brake pipes and slight corrosion on the front cross member, requiring a close check to ensure the rust has not progressed beyond a surface level. Additionally, the 2022 advisory regarding the ABS light and engine management light suggests a history of intermittent electrical or sensor faults. A buyer should verify that no warning lights remain active on the dashboard and check that the pitted brake discs noted in 2023 have been replaced rather than simply allowed to thin.
