TOYOTA AYGO2018 · 1.0L PETROL

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a successful MOT on October 24, 2025, but the mechanical history reveals a worsening trend of deferred maintenance regarding brakes and tyres. While the car passed the retest immediately, the initial failure at that same mileage highlighted multiple defects including worn and pitted front brake discs and pads, alongside under-inflated and worn tyres. This suggests that the previous owner only addressed components once they reached a failure point rather than following a preventative schedule. The mileage profile is notably low for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,558 miles per year. There is a significant gap in usage between November 2023 at 12,414 miles and February 2025 at 20,675 miles, where the car covered over 8,000 miles in fifteen months. This low-frequency usage pattern often leads to surface corrosion on brake components due to lack of use, which aligns with the pitting and scoring on the front discs recorded in the October 2025 test. A buyer must physically inspect the front braking system, as the discs have been flagged for wear or pitting across three separate tests since 2023. The recurring nature of these faults indicates the components may be reaching the end of their life or that the calipers are sticking. Additionally, the history of uneven tyre wear on edges in both 2024 and 2025 necessitates a check of the wheel alignment and suspension bushes to ensure no underlying issues are causing premature tyre degradation.
