2020 Toyota Aygo 1.0L Petrol · AF70 RWK

The most recent MOT test conducted on 10 August 2026 resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. Reviewing the full history from 2023 through to 2026, the vehicle demonstrates a highly stable maintenance trend, consistently meeting all DVSA safety and environmental standards without any noted issues regarding structural integrity, lighting, or braking efficiency. This clean record suggests that the vehicle has been kept in a good state of repair and has not suffered from any significant mechanical failures or neglected safety-critical components during its recent testing cycles. With a recorded mileage of 14,724 miles over a six-year period, the vehicle has averaged approximately 2,454 miles per year. This is exceptionally low usage for a 2020 Toyota Aygo, indicating that the car has likely been used for very short-distance commuting or has spent extended periods stationary. While this low mileage means there is minimal wear on the engine, drivetrain, and suspension bushes, it also implies that the mechanical components have not been regularly exercised. This specific usage profile requires a different inspection approach, focusing on the effects of stagnation and age-related degradation rather than high-mileage fatigue. During your physical inspection and test drive, you should pay close attention to degradation that occurs regardless of distance travelled. Closely examine the tyres for signs of perishing or sidewall cracking, as older rubber can become brittle and lose grip even if the tread depth appears ample. You should also check the brake discs for heavy surface corrosion or pitting and listen for any signs of binding calipers or unusual noises from the suspension, such as clunks or knocks, which may indicate that rubber components have hardened or dried out. It is also vital to verify that the vehicle has been serviced according to the manufacturer's time-based intervals rather than just mileage, as engine oil and brake fluid require periodic replacement to prevent degradation from oxidation and moisture absorption. Finally, assess the health of the 12V battery, as infrequent driving often prevents the alternator from fully replenishing the charge, potentially leading to reduced cranking power or electrical instability. Check for any signs of fluid leaks around the engine and transmission, as seals can sometimes perish or leak when they are not regularly lubricated by circulating fluids. Confirming a consistent service book history with stamps for annual oil changes will be the best indicator that the vehicle has been mechanically preserved despite its low annual mileage.
