2011 Toyota Aygo 1.0L Petrol · AV11 GKP

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, with the maintenance trend showing signs of stability following a mechanical failure. The most recent test in January 2026 at 42,763 miles passed with only a minor advisory regarding a smear from the front wiper blade. This follows a successful pass in early 2025, indicating that the mechanical issues identified in the previous year were addressed and the vehicle is currently operating within acceptable parameters. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a fifteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 2,850 miles per year. Between March 2023 at 37,807 miles and January 2026 at 42,763 miles, the car covered 4,956 miles. While low mileage generally reduces wear on the engine and drivetrain, such infrequent use often leads to degradation of rubber-based components and brake hardware. The consistent annual interval between tests suggests the vehicle has been used regularly for short trips, which helps in tracking the progression of any developing faults. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the rear braking system and suspension components. The 2024 failure for a nearside rear service brake being excessively binding and the inability to test the wheel bearing suggests a history of caliper seizure or bearing corrosion due to low use. Although the vehicle passed subsequent tests, the 2025 note regarding worn front brake discs indicates that the braking system is reaching the end of its service life. Given the age of the car and the low mileage, a thorough check for corrosion on brake lines and perished suspension bushes is essential, as these parts often fail from age on vehicles that sit for long periods.
