2016 TOYOTA AYGO1.0L Petrol

The Toyota Aygo has demonstrated consistent roadworthiness over its MOT history, with every test since 2021 passing without any recorded defects or advisories. The most recent inspection in October 2025—just nine months ago—confirmed no issues, reinforcing a stable maintenance pattern. While the absence of faults suggests the vehicle has been kept in basic compliance, the lack of advisories also means no proactive repairs or upgrades have been documented, leaving some critical components untested beyond the MOT’s limited scope. The recorded mileage of 41,736 miles over nearly ten years indicates unusually light usage, averaging just over 4,000 miles annually. This pattern is unusual for a vehicle of this age, as prolonged periods of inactivity can accelerate wear on fluids, tyres, and suspension components. Notably, there are no gaps exceeding the standard 12-month interval between tests, but the steady accumulation of low mileage—without corresponding servicing records—raises questions about whether routine maintenance has been neglected. The most significant jump occurred between the 2021 and 2022 tests, where mileage increased by 3,672 miles in just over a year, though this remains well below average for a car of this type. Given the clean MOT record, a buyer should prioritise an in-person inspection of suspension components, particularly the rear bushes and coil springs, which are prone to degradation even with low mileage. The brakes—while not flagged—should be checked for uneven wear or binding calipers, as the lack of advisories does not preclude hidden issues. Tyres, though not explicitly tested beyond tread depth, warrant scrutiny for uneven wear or embedded debris, which could indicate past neglect. Finally, the underbody and wheel arches should be examined for corrosion, as standing vehicles are susceptible to rust progression, even if the MOT did not detect any at the time of testing.
