2014 Toyota Aygo 1.0L Petrol · BD64 XKP

The most recent MOT on 2025-07-22 recorded tyre damage on all four corners, with nearside and offside front tyres showing perishing or cracking. This mirrors earlier entries from 2024, 2023, and 2022, where similar tyre issues were noted. The pattern suggests a recurring concern with tyre condition, likely linked to age or storage rather than active wear. No new safety-critical defects were found in the latest test, but the persistence of tyre-related issues raises questions about long-term maintenance. Mechanical defects in earlier MOTs included worn suspension bushes (anti-roll bar linkages, suspension arms) and tyre damage. These were consistently flagged between 2022 and 2024 but not repeated in the 2025 test. This could indicate repairs were made, though no explicit confirmation is provided. The absence of new defects since 2021 suggests the overall condition has stabilized, but the recurring tyre issues imply ongoing risks. The vehicle’s mileage of 71,415 miles over 12 years equates to roughly 5,951 miles annually—a low figure for its age. This may reflect light use or extended periods of inactivity, both of which can accelerate tyre perishing and component stiffness.
