2015 Toyota Aygo 1.0L Petrol · AB08 DLB

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend indicates a recurring neglect of rubber-based components. While it passed the most recent test in September 2025 at 18,275 miles, it had failed immediately prior due to all four tyres exhibiting structural failure or severe perishing. This suggests that while the vehicle is mechanically capable of passing, the owner only reacts to critical safety failures rather than addressing age-related wear before it reaches the testing station. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for an 11-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 1,661 miles per year. Between September 2024 and September 2025, the car covered only 1,130 miles, from 17,145 to 18,275 miles. This low usage explains the consistent issues with dry rot and perishing noted throughout the records, as tyres that remain stationary for long periods allow the rubber compound to degrade over time despite having significant tread depth. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of all tyres, as the history shows a persistent pattern of perishing and cracking from 2022 through 2025. The 2024 advisory noted that front brake discs were worn, which is common in low-mileage cars where discs develop surface rust or uneven wear due to lack of use. Additionally, given the low mileage, the buyer should inspect the suspension bushes, seals, and rubber hoses for cracking, as these components often age faster than they wear out on vehicles that are rarely driven.
