2014 Vauxhall Agila 1.2L Petrol · YH14 LWN

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a shift toward reactive rather than proactive upkeep. While the most recent test in March 2026 at 32,027 miles passed, the tester flagged an offside front tyre worn to the legal limit with uneven edge wear. This follows a failure in March 2025 where a fractured offside front coil spring was identified, indicating that the owner only addresses mechanical faults once they fail an official inspection. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a twelve-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 2,700 miles per year. The data shows consistent low-usage patterns between 2023 and 2026, with the car covering only 4,700 miles in that three-year period. This low mileage suggests minimal internal wear on the drivetrain and engine components, but the long periods of standing can lead to the degradation of rubber-based components and corrosion on brake surfaces, which may contribute to the suspension-related failures found during the 2025 test. A buyer must inspect the suspension geometry specifically, as the uneven edge wear noted on the offside front tyre in 2026 suggests the previous coil spring failure may have affected the alignment or left components out of specification. The nearside rear tyre should be checked for slow leaks or structural damage since the history records a nail and significant wear in that area during 2025. Given the low annual mileage, a physical check of the brake discs for pitting and seized calipers is also essential, as rarely-used vehicles often suffer from surface rust that does not clear during normal driving.
