2017 Toyota Aygo 1.0L Petrol · AE67 OVO

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend reveals a reactive rather than proactive approach. While it passed its most recent MOT in October 2025 at 45,832 miles, it had failed just one day prior due to multiple tyre defects. The failure for an offside front tyre below the legal tread limit and a perished nearside rear tyre indicates that the owner only addresses consumable items when forced by testing rather than during routine servicing. At nine years old, the recorded mileage of 45,832 miles represents a low annual average of approximately 5,100 miles. This low usage explains the recurring issues with aged rubber components, as seen in the cracking and perishing tyres noted between 2022 and 2025. There is a significant gap of 11,515 miles between the August 2024 and October 2025 tests, suggesting the car may sit for long periods, which often leads to the degradation of brake fluids and tyre sidew despite low mechanical mileage. A buyer must scrutinize the braking system and suspension during a physical inspection. The August 2022 test at 23,500 miles flagged pitted brake discs, low pads, and a sticking brake mechanism that required adjustment. Given the low mileage since then, the buyer should check for seized calipers or uneven wear caused by the vehicle standing stationary. The recurring history of perished tyres across multiple years suggests that the current set may be reaching the end of its structural life regardless of tread depth, necessitating a thorough check for sidewall cracking.
