2008 Toyota Aygo 1.0L Petrol · YT08 AEK

The vehicle currently maintains a roadworthy status following a clean MOT pass on 4 February 2026 at 118,735 miles. This result indicates a stable maintenance trend, as the car cleared the test without any defects despite a prior failure just five weeks earlier that same year. The absence of recorded advisories in the most recent inspection suggests that the owner has been proactive in addressing potential mechanical issues, ensuring the vehicle meets the minimum safety standards required for continued road operation. At 118,735 miles over 18 years, the Aygo has averaged approximately 6,600 miles per annum. This mileage profile aligns with typical usage for a small city car of this age. The data shows consistent annual testing intervals, with a gap of 1,371 miles between January 2024 and January 2025 tests, and another 3,292 miles between January 2025 and February 2026. This steady accumulation suggests the vehicle is used regularly rather than sitting stationary, which generally prevents the degradation of seals and rubber components. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components most susceptible to age-related wear, despite the clean MOT record. Given the vehicle's age, a close examination of the structural integrity, particularly the sills and wheel arches, is necessary to check for hidden corrosion. While the recent tests show no defects, the failures in early 2024 and early 2026 indicate that minor components like light bulbs or emissions-related sensors require frequent attention. Inspecting the suspension bushes for cracking and checking the brake discs for excessive thinning or pitting will ensure the mechanical condition remains as robust as the digital record suggests.
