2018 Toyota Aygo 1.0L Petrol · AM03 MWM

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the most recent inspection indicates the first sign of structural degradation. While the Aygo passed its previous four annual tests without any defects, the test on March 13, 2026, at 30,462 miles flagged a corroded front sub-frame. The tester noted the corrosion was not yet seriously weakened, but this marks the beginning of a potential trend that requires active monitoring compared to the clean records seen in the preceding years. The mileage profile is consistently low for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,800 miles per annum. Between March 2022 at 23,198 miles and the 2026 test at 30,462 miles, the car covered only 7,264 miles. This low usage suggests the vehicle has likely not faced heavy mechanical stress on the engine or drivetrain components. However, low-mileage vehicles often suffer from brake corrosion and perished rubber-based components if the car sits stationary for extended periods between annual tests. A physical inspection must focus specifically on the front sub-frame to determine if the corrosion is surface-level or pitting into the structural metal. Given the lack of mileage, the buyer should also check the brake discs for surface pitting and ensure the calipers are not seized due to lack of use. Inspecting the suspension bushes and tyres for cracking is vital, as age-related degradation often occurs ahead of mileage-based wear on low-use vehicles.
