2010 Toyota Aygo 1.0L Petrol · AV10 NXF

The 2010 Toyota Aygo presents a stable maintenance trend, culminating in a clean pass at 89,884 miles on 31 March 2025. Despite two recorded failures in the history, neither lists any mechanical defects, indicating these were likely aborted tests rather than failures due to structural or mechanical faults. The most recent test confirms the vehicle met all roadworthiness standards without advisories at that mileage. However, given the current date of July 2026, the MOT certificate has expired, meaning the car requires a fresh examination before legal use on the road. The mileage accumulation is exceptionally low for a vehicle of this age, averaging roughly 5,600 miles annually. Between the March 2023 test at 88,532 miles and the March 2025 test at 89,884 miles, the odometer advanced by only 1,352 miles over two years. This pattern suggests prolonged periods of standing or very short, localized journeys. Such low usage can mask typical wear but introduces its own risks, such as perished rubber components, stale fuel, or brake disc corrosion from standing idle. Although the MOT record remains entirely free of mechanical advisories, the repeated test failures with no defects recorded suggest a pattern of poor preparation by the previous owner, possibly presenting the vehicle without ensuring it was ready for the test. A buyer must inspect the physical condition of consumables that degrade with age rather than mileage. Check the tyres for sidewall cracking and date codes, as tread depth may remain legal while the rubber perishes. Examine the brake discs for surface corrosion and the calipers for binding, common issues when a car stands for extended periods. Inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs for deterioration, and verify the structural integrity of the underbody and sills for corrosion, which remains a risk regardless of mileage.
