Looking at a Agila?

Population figures cannot tell you whether one particular car is taxed, MOT-valid or safe to buy.

Check its registration free for the official tax, MOT and mileage record. If the car is still worth pursuing, the optional £9.99 full history check adds outstanding-finance, stolen and insurance write-off checks.

Wondering whether one particular Agila is off the road? A free SORN check shows whether it is currently SORN, taxed or untaxed.

Is the Agila disappearing?

Licensed numbers peaked at 61,315 in 2014 Q3 and stand at 31,213 in 2026 Q1, down 49%. That is down 28% in the five years since 2021 Q1. A further 3,399 are declared SORN — 1 in 10 of the 34,612 still on the DVLA record is off the road, laid up, part-restored or waiting to be sold.

A falling population is worth knowing before you buy: it usually means fewer donor cars, fewer specialists and slower parts supply, and it is why a good example of a scarce model can hold its price while a neglected one is hard to sell at any price.

Agila MOT pass rate

In 2024, 61.4% of 32,927 Vauxhall Agila MOTs passed first time — below the 71.2% UK average. Pass rate moves with age: 79.2% of cars aged 6–9 years passed first time, against 56.4% aged 15–30 years.

  • Suspension Arms — 8.8% of tests. Worn arms or bushes. A common age-related repair that affects handling and tyre wear.
  • Brake Performance — 7.9% of tests. The brakes underperformed on the rolling road. Expect brake work rather than an adjustment.
  • Springs — 4.8% of tests. A broken or sagging coil spring. Replaced in pairs, so it is not the cheapest failure.
  • Wipers — 4.4% of tests. Worn wiper blades. Minutes to fix, and a fair hint that servicing was skipped.
