Mechanical Assessment

AI-generated interpretation of this vehicle’s MOT record — not an official statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

The vehicle presents a high level of roadworthiness, maintaining a remarkably stable maintenance trend. The most recent MOT test conducted on 13 July 2026 at 53,258 miles passed with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a sequence of clean passes over the previous four years, indicating that the vehicle has consistently met the minimum safety standards without the recurring mechanical or structural failures often seen in cars of this age. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a fifteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,550 miles per year. Between the June 2022 test at 40,600 miles and the July 2026 test at 53,258 miles, the car covered only 12,658 miles. This suggests consistent, low-frequency use, which typically results in less wear on the drivetrain and engine components. However, such low mileage often carries the risk of degradation in rubber-based components and fluids due to time- rather than mechanical friction. While the digital record shows no flagged faults, a physical inspection should focus on components prone to age-related perishability. A buyer must check for signs of perished suspension bushes, cracked wish arms, and aging tyre sidewalls that may exist despite sufficient tread depth. Given the low usage, the brake discs should be examined for surface corrosion or seized calipers resulting from infrequent use, which can lead to uneven braking performance if not addressed.

Our Verdict

This is a sensible, low-risk buy for a budget city car, with a clean MOT record across the last five years. The Vauxhall Agila YP11ACF shows consistent, low annual mileage and no recorded defects, making it an honest small runabout.

Given the clean MOT history, focus your negotiation on service records rather than repairs — ask for proof of cambelt (or chain) checks, brake fluid changes, and regular oil services, as these are not captured by MOT. The Agila shares underpinnings with the Suzuki Splash, so parts are reasonably priced and widely available through aftermarket suppliers. As a 2011 petrol car, it avoids the diesel emissions complexities seen in newer small cars, but confirm the clutch and gearbox feel smooth on a test drive given the low mileage may mean infrequent use.

The 1.0-litre petrol engine in this Agila typically returns strong fuel economy suited to town driving, and as a pre-2017 petrol it benefits from lower VED than later standards, though exact band should be confirmed with DVLA. Insurance groups for the Agila are low, often Group 3-5, keeping premiums modest for new or older drivers. Estimated annual running costs including fuel, tax, insurance and routine maintenance are around £700-£900 given the low mileage and small engine.

The MOT history shows no failures or advisories from 2022 to 2026, so there are no specific failure types to investigate from past tests; however, physically check tyre condition, brake discs and suspension bushes as these can wear without triggering MOT defects at passing grade. As this is a 996cc three-cylinder petrol, listen for rough idle or excessive vibration, and verify the exhaust and underbody for corrosion given the vehicle is now 15 years old. Inspect the red paintwork for fading or stone chips, and confirm the interior trim and electrics work, as low-mileage cars can still suffer from age-related wear.

The 2011 Vauxhall Agila (registration YP11ACF) has passed every MOT from 2022 to 2026 with no defects noted, covering just 53,258 miles in 15 years. Its 996cc petrol engine and red hatchback body suggest low running costs and easy urban use. With no failures in the available history, the vehicle presents as well-maintained for its age and class.

No aggregate MOT data is available for the Vauxhall Agila, so reliability claims cannot be benchmarked against the model population.
