2010 Vauxhall Agila 1.2L Petrol · WG59 WDR

The Vauxhall Agila’s most recent MOT test on 2025-11-25 confirms it remains roadworthy with no defects recorded at 112,986 miles, maintaining a consistent pass trend across all available tests since 2022. The absence of advisories or failings suggests the vehicle has not experienced recurring mechanical issues that would escalate risk. However, the November 2023 double entry—with a failed test at 99,302 miles followed by an immediate pass at 99,304—raises curiosity about what minor oversight was corrected between those two tests. Given the lack of defects in subsequent tests, this anomaly may have been a procedural or sensor-related hiccup rather than a persistent fault. The mileage progression of roughly 7,062 miles per year aligns with typical usage for a vehicle of this age, with no abrupt spikes or prolonged stagnation. The gap between the 2023 and 2024 tests spans 11 months, covering 7,385 miles, while the 2024-2025 interval also covers a similar distance over 11 months. There is no evidence of neglect—such as extended periods off the road—or aggressive driving, which might have accelerated wear. That said, the 2010 model’s age demands scrutiny of high-wear components, even if the MOT record remains clean. A buyer should prioritise an in-person inspection of the suspension system, particularly the coil springs and bushes, as these are common points of failure in vehicles of this age and mileage. The brakes, including calipers and discs, should be checked for uneven wear or binding, though the absence of failings in recent tests is reassuring. Corrosion, especially around wheel arches, sills, and the subframe, warrants close examination, as structural integrity can degrade silently over 16 years. Finally, the exhaust system and emissions should be visually inspected for leaks or excessive rust, as these are often overlooked but critical for both performance and compliance. The lack of recorded defects does not preclude gradual deterioration in these areas.
