2011 Toyota Aygo 1.0L Petrol · AK61 ABX

The 2011 Toyota Aygo holds a current MOT valid until November 2026, having passed its most recent test on 7 November 2025 at 64,101 miles. The maintenance trend is broadly stable, with no serious structural or mechanical failures recorded across the entire history. The tester flagged a defective Nearside Front Headlamp lens at the most recent pass, a minor cosmetic and lighting issue that does not compromise structural integrity or safety-critical systems. The vehicle has consistently passed its MOTs after rectifying small faults, indicating a pattern of reactive but adequate upkeep rather than neglect. The mileage progression tells a clear story of very light use. Between the November 2023 test at 55,803 miles and the November 2024 test at 60,166 miles, the car covered 4,363 miles in twelve months. That figure held steady through to November 2025, when the odometer read 64,101 miles, adding just 3,935 miles over the following year. For a fifteen-year-old city car, this equates to roughly 4,273 miles annually, well below the UK average. Such low mileage reduces wear on consumables like brake discs, tyres, and suspension bushes, but it also raises the possibility of long periods standing still, which can cause tyre perishing, seized brake calipers, and stale fuel issues. The recurring advisory worth watching is the hazard warning switch. It was flagged as faulty in both November 2023 and November 2024, then appeared resolved by the November 2025 test after a switch replacement. This suggests the previous owner eventually addressed a persistent electrical niggle rather than ignoring it. Headlamp aim adjustments were needed in 2023, and a minor lens defect persists on the nearside, so a buyer should verify that both headlamps produce a clean, correctly aimed beam and that the hazard switch operates reliably under load. A buyer should focus the physical inspection on components that low-mileage use does not protect. Check both front tyres for cracking or perishing, given the offside rear tyre was flagged as slightly damaged in 2024. Inspect brake discs and pads for surface corrosion from standing, and test that no caliper binds during a short drive. Examine the underside for any signs of corrosion on suspension mounting points, subframes, or exhaust hangers, as even low-mileage cars stored outdoors can develop surface rust that compromises structural integrity over time.
