Second Hand Vauxhall Agila Towbar

The Vauxhall Agila is a small city car and was not factory-approved for towing, so Vauxhall did not offer a towbar as a genuine accessory for it. Aftermarket towbars were occasionally produced for the Agila by third-party manufacturers, but they are uncommon and not a standard item you would find removed from a scrapped car at a breaker's yard. If you have seen one listed, it is almost certainly an aftermarket part rather than something stripped from a donor vehicle. You may want to check with towbar specialists rather than a used-parts breaker for this one.

Because the Agila was never factory-fitted with a towbar and was not officially approved for towing, dismantlers very rarely, if ever, remove towbars from Agila donor cars - there simply would not have been one fitted to strip off. A used-parts breaker is unlikely to be able to supply this item, as it would not form part of the standard salvage from an Agila. Your best route is a specialist towbar fitting company who can advise on whether an aftermarket kit exists for your specific year of Agila.

The Agila ran in two generations - the Agila A (approximately 2000 to 2004) and the Agila B (approximately 2004 to 2015, sharing its platform with the Corsa D) - and any aftermarket towbar would be generation-specific because the rear bumper and chassis structure differ completely between them. However, since neither generation was factory-approved for towing and towbars are not a standard used part stripped from breakers' cars, the generation question is largely academic here. If you do track down an aftermarket kit, make absolutely sure it is listed for your exact generation and confirm compatibility with the supplier before purchasing.

Trim level makes no difference to towbar fitment, as the rear structure and bumper mounting points on the Agila do not change between trim lines like Club, Design, or Sport within the same generation. That said, since towbars are not a standard factory-fitted or commonly salvaged item on the Agila, trim level is not a practical concern when sourcing one. Focus instead on confirming the correct generation (A or B) for any aftermarket kit you find.

The Vauxhall Agila and Opel Agila are the same vehicle sold under different names in different markets, so in principle the rear structure is the same and an aftermarket towbar listed for the Opel Agila of the same generation may well fit the Vauxhall version. However, whether there are any minor pressing or fitment differences between the two market variants is something you should confirm with the supplier or breaker against your registration before committing to a purchase. This is a sensible avenue to explore if you are struggling to find a kit listed specifically under the Vauxhall name.
