2013 TOYOTA AYGO1.0L PETROL

The vehicle shows a history of recurring mechanical and corrosion-related issues despite its low annual mileage. In the most recent test in June 2025 at 70,866 miles, the tester identified multiple faults including a corroded offside rear brake pipe covered in grease, alongside significant corrosion to both rear brake drums. The report also flagged worn front suspension rod bushes and a severely deteriorated offside front drive shaft CV boot. While the car passed after these repairs, the presence of brake line corrosion and rubber component degradation suggests the vehicle may be suffering from age-related wear rather than just distance driven. At 13 years old with 70,866 miles, the Aygo averages an average of approximately 5,451 miles per year. This low usage profile often leads to the deterioration of rubber parts like CV boots and suspension bushes, as seen in the 2025 deat results. The 2023 test at 62,551 miles showed a failure due to thin brake pads and a deteriorated CV boot, indicating that basic preventative maintenance was neglected until components reached the failure threshold. The 2024 inspection at 67,156 miles confirmed that the CV boot remained a point of concern, showing a pattern where faults are addressed only upon MOT failure. A buyer should conduct a thorough inspection of the entire braking system, specifically checking the rear drums and the integrity of the brake lines to ensure no further corrosion. The recurring failure of the drive shaft boot suggests that the rubber components are prone to cracking due to age or exposure. Furthermore, the front suspension bushes should be checked for play, as they were already noted as worn in the 2025 advisory. The overall record reflects a vehicle that is mechanically sound but has operated on a reactive rather than a proactive maintenance schedule.
