2021 TOYOTA AYGO1.0L Petrol

The vehicle remains roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, as evidenced by the most recent 2025-08-20 MOT at 26,913 miles, which recorded no defects. The prior 2024-08-22 test at 19,606 miles also showed no issues, confirming consistent compliance. No recurring faults or escalating concerns are apparent from the two consecutive clean MOTs, suggesting the owner maintained the vehicle to standard. However, the 12-month gap since the last test means the current condition is not freshly verified. The mileage progression shows 19,606 miles at 2024-08-22, rising to 26,913 by 2025-08-20—a 7,307-mile increase over 12 months. This aligns with the vehicle’s 5,383-mile annual average, which is low for a five-year-old car. Such figures may indicate infrequent use or prolonged periods of inactivity, which can accelerate aging of components like suspension bushes, coil springs, and rubber seals. The absence of corrosion or structural issues in the MOT records is reassuring, but the low mileage warrants scrutiny for potential hidden wear. A physical inspection should focus on age-related degradation, particularly in the exhaust system, brake calipers, and suspension components, as these can deteriorate without regular use. Check for dry-rotted tyres, fluid leaks, and signs of rust on underbody panels. While the MOT history shows no critical failures, the low mileage and five-year age suggest the buyer should verify the vehicle’s service history and assess the condition of non-motored components, such as the steering rack and wheel bearings, which may not be tested during an MOT.
