2008 Vauxhall Agila 1.2L Petrol · WR58 VMH

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a clear shift toward age-related component degradation. While the most recent test in November 2025 passed at 66,426 miles, it identified both nearside and offside front lower suspension arm bushes. This follows a pattern seen in 2024 where brake wear and minor leaks were noted, indicating that rubber and metal components are beginning to reach their functional limit despite the low overall mileage. At 18 years old, the recorded mileage of 66,426 miles represents an exceptionally low average of approximately 3,700 miles per year. The usage pattern is consistent, with roughly 2,300 to 3,000 miles covered between annual tests. This low mileage suggests minimal mechanical strain on the engine, but it often correlates with accelerated drying of rubber seals and surface corrosion. The single failure in October 2022 due to exposed cords on a front tyre suggests the vehicle may have sat stationary for extended periods or suffered from neglected consumable upkeep. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the structural integrity and subframe mounting points. The 2024 test flagged corrosion on the nearside and offside rear inner subframe mountings, and while not considered excessive at the time, rust is a progressive issue on Vauxalls of this era. The front brake discs have been flagged as worn or pitted in both 2022 and 2024, and the nearside rear binding brake noted in 2024 requires verification to ensure the caliper is not seized due to lack of use.
