2006 Toyota Aygo 1.0L Petrol · VN06 AKV

The 2025‑09‑01 MOT at 110,197 miles recorded a pass with no defects, confirming that the Toyota Aygo is presently roadworthy. The previous September 2024 test at 108,284 miles failed on structural corrosion of the near‑side rear suspension mounting and an out‑of‑spec exhaust lambda reading, but the intervening remedial work appears to have resolved those issues, indicating an improving maintenance trend. At roughly 5,500 miles per year the vehicle’s mileage is low for a 20‑year‑old model, and the incremental increase from 108,284 miles in September 2024 to 110,197 miles in September 2025 shows modest recent use rather than a sudden surge. Earlier years show a steady rise from 79,297 miles in 2016 to 105,869 miles in September 2023, a gain of about 26,600 miles over seven years, with no abrupt jumps, suggesting the car has been driven intermittently. A buyer should therefore concentrate on the recurring faults highlighted in the record: the near‑side rear suspension mounting area shows persistent corrosion that has caused a holed outer sill, and the anti‑roll bar linkage bushes have repeatedly perished, indicating potential weakening of the chassis; the front brakes exhibit thin pads and worn discs that will require replacement; the exhaust system has shown minor leaks and lambda sensor out‑of‑spec readings, so the pipework and catalytic converter should be inspected for cracks or blockages; and the power‑steering warning lamp points to a possible steering rack or pump fault that must be verified. Overall, the vehicle’s recent pass suggests it is currently fit for use, but the history of structural rust and suspension component wear demands a thorough physical inspection of the sills, suspension mounting points, brake assembly, and exhaust before purchase.
