2013 Toyota Aygo 1.0L Petrol · AY13 VKV

The vehicle's overall roadworthiness is currently poor, with the most recent MOT test in February 2026 failing at 58,394 miles. This failure indicates a significant structural or mechanical risk that has not been resolved since the previous 2025 test. The sequence of failures between February 2025 and February 2024 demonstrates a consistent trend of progressive deterioration, suggesting that the vehicle has not undergone adequate preventative maintenance despite its age. The mileage accumulation pattern is concerning, as the vehicle has only passed the MOT twice in a period of approximately 13 years. This lack of maintenance suggests that the buyer has likely relied on the car for extended periods without addressing the critical wear on the drivetrain or suspension. The gap between the 2023 and 2025 tests is particularly notable, with the 2025 failure occurring at a mileage that is approaching the threshold for imminent failure, indicating that the vehicle is likely in a state of imminent breakdown. Given the history of binding brakes and structural issues, the buyer must inspect the rear suspension, coil springs, and brake components in person. The binding condition is a serious defect that requires immediate professional assessment to determine if it is a minor consumable issue or a critical structural failure. The buyer should also verify the condition of the exhaust system and check for corrosion on the engine block and transmission, as these components are prone to failure at this mileage. A simple pass on the MOT does not guarantee the vehicle will remain safe; the history of failures indicates a high probability of future mechanical problems.
