2016 Toyota Aygo 1.0L Petrol · BX16 AEB

The vehicle remains road‑worthy, having passed the most recent MOT on 19 March 2026 at 39,645 miles. The tester recorded advisory notes on the nearside and offside front suspension arm pins or bushes being worn, though the condition did not produce excessive movement. No fail‑type defects were listed, so the car is legally fit to drive but the suspension advisories merit attention. Across a ten‑year span the Aygo has accumulated just 39,645 miles, averaging roughly 4,000 miles per year – well below the typical usage for a vehicle of this age. Mileage increments between tests are consistent: 3,822 miles from March 2025 to March 2026, 4,534 miles from March 2024 to March 2025, and similar growth in earlier years. No sudden spikes or long gaps appear, indicating steady, low‑intensity use and a relatively clean service record. The recurring front suspension advisory suggests the bushings are approaching the end of their service life. A buyer should feel for any play in the front wheel assemblies, listen for clunking over bumps, and verify that the suspension arms are securely mounted. The 2024 test flagged slight damage or cracking on all four tyres; although later tests omitted the comment, the buyer should inspect tread depth, sidewall integrity, and confirm that the tyres have been replaced or are still within safe limits. Brakes, emissions and structural components have shown no defects, yet a visual check for rust, especially around wheel arches and undercarriage, remains prudent. In person, the prospective owner should confirm that the suspension advisories have not progressed to a failure condition, that tyre condition is satisfactory, and that the overall mechanical state aligns with the clean MOT history.
