2010 Toyota Aygo 1.0L Petrol · GY60 ANP

The vehicle maintains a generally roadworthy status, having passed its most recent MOT in January 2026 at 61,730 miles. The maintenance trend shows a shift from clean early records to more frequent wear-related defects in later years. While the 2026 test indicated no new defects, the 2024 record revealed multiple issues across the braking system and chassis, suggesting the vehicle is now entering a phase where components require proactive replacement despite the low mileage. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a 16-year-old Toyota, averaging approximately 3,850 miles per year. This low usage explains the lack of major drivetrain failures, but it also correlates with age-related degradation of rubber and metal components. Between 2019 and 2021, the car covered only 4,415 miles, yet the tester found a coolant leak and a worn drive belt. This pattern suggests the vehicle may sit for long periods, which often leads to dry perishing of hoses and internal fluid leaks rather than mechanical wear from distance. A buyer should focus specifically on the braking system and underbody condition during a physical inspection. The December 2024 test flagged thin front brake pads and pitted front discs, alongside corroded rear brake pipes covered in grease. While these passed the subsequent test, the presence of corrosion on brake lines is a risk for future failure if not treated. The mention of underseal in January 2026 suggests an attempt to manage rust, but the structural integrity of pipes must be verified for hidden corrosion. Tyre health is another recurring concern, with perishing and damage noted in 2018, 2020, 2023, and 2024. This indicates the rubber compound is likely outlasting its age rather than tread wear. Inspect the sidewalls for deep cracking and check the cooling system pressure to ensure the leak identified in 2021 was properly rectified rather than merely masked with a sealant. Given the low mileage, the primary risks are age-related decay of auxiliary components rather than engine or gearbox fatigue.
