Common Problems: VAUXHALL AGILA
Known issues reported by owners and MOT testers.
- Suspension bush and joint wear causing knocks(Moderate)
BreakerYard's Agila fault page says the knocking you hear over bumps originates with the suspension bushes, and GetCarWise's Agila data lists suspension bush and joint wear as the leading tracked issue at typical independent costs of £120-£250, alongside corrosion-related suspension failures on higher-mileage cars. The Agila's tall body and light front end load these bushes hard in town, over speed cushions and potholes, so wear shows up as a knock, a vague steering feel and uneven tyre wear well before the car needs anything more expensive.
- Corrosion in brake master cylinder and hydraulic lines(Serious)
BreakerYard's Agila guide warns that water corrodes the brake master cylinder over time, which then leaks fluid, and GetCarWise's Agila fault data pairs that with corroded brake hose ferrules and pipe damage as a tracked MOT failure area, with typical repairs in the £150-£450 range depending on how many components let go. On a small car that spends its life in wet town driving, salt-laden water collects around the cylinder and pipe clips, so the first sign is often a low reservoir level or a soft pedal rather than an obvious puddle.
