2007 Toyota Aygo 1.0L Petrol · AF07 VEL

The vehicle remains in a roadworthy condition, evidenced by a clean pass in the most recent test on August 28 2025 at 85,858 miles. This represents an improving maintenance trend, as the recurring defects identified in previous years have been addressed. While the car historically suffered from minor wear items, the current absence of advisories suggests the owner has been proactive in rectifying flagged faults. The mileage profile is notably low for a nineteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,500 miles per year. Between June 2021 and May 2022, the car covered only 3,420 miles, indicating very light annual use or potentially long periods where the vehicle sat stationary. This de-rated rate of use typically reduces the mechanical strain on the engine and braking system, though low-mileage vehicles often suffer from age-related degradation of rubber components and seals which perish due to dry rot over time rather than friction-based wear. A physical inspection should focus on the front suspension, specifically the anti-roll bar linkages and bushes which were flagged as worn in 2022, 2023, and 2024. Although these were cleared in the latest test, the recurring nature of this fault suggests they are prone to failure on this model. You should also verify the condition of the headlamp lenses and tyres, as the record noted deterioration and perishing in previous years. Given the low mileage and the historical report of a perishing tyre in 2022, checking for sidewall cracking is essential to ensure the rubber has not become brittle despite having ample tread depth.
