2013 Vauxhall Agila 1.2L Petrol · WN63 UNS

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history indicates a reactive approach rather than proactive care. The most recent test on 18 August 2025 at 68,048 miles resulted in an initial failure due to a structural defect in the nearside front tyre. While the vehicle passed immediately after addressing the tyre and minor lighting issues involving the indicator, headlamp, and registration plate lamp, the trend shows a recurring pattern of the owner only rectifying components once they reach the point of an MOT failure. At 68,048 miles over 13 years, the Agila shows low annual mileage of approximately 5,200 miles per year. This low usage often leads to the degradation of rubber-based components and seals rather than mileage-related wear. Between December 2022 at 51,669 miles and January 2024 at 64,506 miles, the car covered over 13,000 miles, a period during which the nearside front suspension arm and ball joint dust cover deteriorated significantly, eventually leading to a failure. A buyer should closely inspect the front suspension assembly, as the record highlights multiple issues with the nearside front arm and ball joint dust cover in previous years. The 2021 test also flagged reduced damping and oil misting on both rear shock absorbers, which should be checked for signs of further leakage if they have not been replaced. Given the history of tyres being worn to the legal limit or suffering from structural separation in 2025, a thorough check of the current tyre brands and alignment is necessary to ensure no hidden damage exists from the previous structural faults.
