2018 Toyota Aygo 1.0L Petrol · AE67 JXZ

The vehicle shows a stable maintenance trend regarding its mechanical integrity, as the most recent MOT test on 10 September 2025 at 152,252 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. While the vehicle has failed previous tests, these failures involve minor electrical components rather than structural or mechanical issues. The failures on 10 September 2025 for a blown fog lamp bulb and an inoperative registration plate lamp, as well as the 10 January 2023 failure for a missing fog lamp, suggest a pattern of neglecting minor consumable electrical items. The mileage accumulation is exceptionally high for an eight-year-old vehicle. Between 22 February 2024 and 10 September 2025, the car covered 42,206 miles in approximately 19 months. This equates to a heavy annual usage of over 26,000 miles during that period, significantly exceeding the lifetime average of 19,032 miles per year. Such high-intensity driving puts increased stress on the drivetrain, suspension bushes, and braking system. The record shows no significant gaps in testing, indicating the vehicle has been in regular, heavy use. A prospective buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the suspension and braking components due to the high mileage. Although the MOT history does not flag specific mechanical failures, the rapid mileage increase warrants a close look at the condition of the shock absorbers, coil springs, and brake discs to check for excessive wear or premature degradation. The 16 February 2024 failure involving a malfunctioning tyre pressure monitoring system (TPMS) also suggests that electrical sensor health should be verified. Given the history of bulb and lamp failures, ensuring all exterior lighting and dashboard warning lights function correctly is a necessary step. While no structural corrosion or serious mechanical defects appear in the provided data, the sheer volume of miles driven means the vehicle has likely undergone significant wear on all moving parts. Focus on checking for any signs of fluid leaks or unusual noises from the engine and transmission during a test drive.
