Vauxhall Agila (2014)
2014 Vauxhall Agila
CarHunch analysed 3,649 real MOT records for the 2014 Vauxhall Agila. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.
The 2014 Vauxhall Agila passes its MOT at 86.1%, which is a solid 6 percentage points above the UK average—but one in five of these cars have recorded a dangerous defect at some point, so mechanical inspection is essential before purchase. Despite this concern, the pass rate suggests the model is fundamentally sound when properly maintained.
At 31,600 miles median, these Agilas show typical wear for a decade-old city car, and the 1.62 average failures per test indicates they're not troublesome overall. However, the high advisory count of 9.5 per vehicle points to minor maintenance niggles accumulating over time—budget for regular servicing and check any prospective purchase's full MOT history for patterns of recurring issues.
What to check before buying a 2014 Vauxhall Agila
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.
- ⚠️ 21.2% of these vehicles have had a dangerous defect recorded. Enter the reg below — the full MOT history will show exactly what was flagged and whether it was resolved.
- 📄 Run an HPI check. The MOT history won't show outstanding finance, insurance write-offs, or stolen status — an HPI check will.
