2023 Toyota Aygo X Pure VVT-I 1.0L Petrol · BJ23 JTZ

A spotless MOT record to date indicates the car has not been flagged for any defects, with the latest test on 12 January 2026 confirming a pass and no advisory notes. The absence of recorded failures across the sole test suggests that, at least at the time of inspection, the vehicle met the statutory safety and emissions criteria without issue, and there is no evidence of a deteriorating trend. At roughly 16,700 miles after three years, the average annual accumulation sits near 5,600 miles, which is well below the typical UK usage pattern for a small hatchback. Such low mileage generally translates to reduced wear on engine internals, transmission components, brake pads, tyre tread and suspension bushings, meaning those parts are likely to have a longer remaining service life. Conversely, periods of limited use can allow seals to dry out and corrosion to develop in hidden areas, so a visual inspection of under‑body panels and rubber boots remains prudent. Even though the MOT history shows no defects, a practical pre‑purchase test drive should still verify the condition of wear items that MOT does not assess in depth. Listen for any metallic clunk or knock when traversing speed bumps, which could reveal worn suspension bushes or loose steering linkage. While braking, note any pulsation through the pedal, squeal or grinding that might point to thin pads or warped discs, and feel for any pull or wandering that could indicate steering rack play. Inspect the exhaust for any visible cracks or abnormal smoke, and check that all lights, indicators and windscreen wipers operate correctly. A final recommendation is to arrange a comprehensive mechanical inspection before purchase, focusing on tyre tread depth, battery terminal condition, and the integrity of any rubber seals that may have been idle for extended periods. With the next MOT due by early 2027, ensuring these items are in good order will help maintain the clean roadworthiness profile demonstrated by the existing MOT record.
