2017 Toyota Aygo 1.0L Petrol · EF17 ABN

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status, evidenced by the most recent MOT pass on 29 November 2025 at 56,797 miles with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend appears stable, though the history reveals a consistent pattern of reactive rather than proactive upkeep. While the car passed its latest inspection, the record suggests the owner only addresses issues once they trigger a failure or advisory threshold rather than performing preventative replacements. The mileage profile is consistent with a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,300 miles per year. Between the December 2021 test at 29,823 miles and the November 2024 test at 50,351 miles, the car covered roughly 6,800 miles annually. This low-rate usage pattern generally limits mechanical wear on drivetrain components, but it also explains the visible age-related degradation of rubber-based parts which have suffered despite the relatively low distance travelled. A buyer must pay close attention to the tyres, as the record shows a recurring issue with cracking and perishing noted in 2022, 2023, and 2024. The 2021 failure specifically highlighted insufficient front tyre tread and structural cuts reaching the cords, indicating a history of neglecting basic safety consumables. Even though the 2025 test showed no defects, a physical inspection should verify the sidewalls for dry rot to ensure the current tyres are not aged beyond safe use. The braking system also warrants a close look, following the December 2021 failure for worn front brake discs. While these were likely replaced shortly after, the low annual mileage can lead to caliper sticking or disc corrosion if the vehicle sits for long periods. Given the history of tyre neglect, an inspector should check the suspension bushes and exhaust for signs of cracking to ensure the low-mileage usage has not masked material degradation of rubber components.
