2006 Vauxhall Agila Expression Twinport
CarHunch analysed 144 real MOT records for the 2006 Vauxhall Agila Expression Twinport. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.
The 2006 Vauxhall Agila Expression TwinPort passes its MOT 76.3% of the time on first attempt—about 3.7 percentage points below the UK average of 80%—suggesting slightly worse-than-typical reliability for its age. The good news is that dangerous defects are non-existent in this cohort, so safety isn't a concern.
At 66,636 miles median, these Agilas are running relatively low mileage for 18-year-old vehicles, which explains why the average failure count sits at just 0.73 per car. Before buying one, have a pre-purchase inspection focus on wear items like brakes and suspension, since advisories aren't being logged—meaning minor issues aren't being caught before they become failures.
What to check before buying a 2006 Vauxhall Agila Expression Twinport
Practical pre-purchase checks for this age and model.
- 📋 Check the full MOT history. Look for recurring advisories — slow-building issues like corrosion or brake wear patterns show up years before they become failures. Enter the reg below for a full AI analysis.
- 🔍 Inspect for corrosion in person. Brake pipes, sills, subframes, and chassis legs. Surface rust is normal at this age; structural rust is a serious problem that's expensive to fix and can fail an MOT.
- 🛞 Check tyres and brakes. The most common advisory items at this age. Budget for replacement if they're near the limit — factor this into your offer price.
- 📄 Run an HPI check. The MOT history won't show outstanding finance, insurance write-offs, or stolen status — an HPI check will.
