2007 Toyota Aygo 1.0L Petrol · BT57 FNF

The vehicle remains roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT on 2025‑09‑30 at 97 410 miles. The test recorded several advisories rather than failures: a missing offside rear registration plate lamp, worn anti‑roll bar linkage pins and bushes, and corroded rear brake pipes. The pattern of faults shows a stable condition rather than improvement; items such as brake‑pipe corrosion, anti‑roll bar wear and tyre deterioration recur across multiple inspections, indicating limited preventative maintenance. Mileage accumulation is low for a 19‑year‑old car. The car averages roughly 5 100 miles per year, a figure well below typical usage. The latest two entries are tightly clustered—2025‑09‑30 (97 410 miles) and 2025‑09‑25 (97 390 miles) just 20 miles apart—demonstrating minimal mileage gain in the months leading to the current date. Earlier records show incremental rises of 500‑600 miles per year, confirming consistent low‑use operation. A buyer should inspect the registration plate lamp circuit, focusing on the offside rear unit that has failed on several occasions. The anti‑roll bar linkage pins and bushes need checking for excessive movement. Rear brake pipes exhibit corrosion and grease ingress; cleaning or replacement is advised. Front brake discs are worn and pitted; rear brake binding should be examined for caliper slide restrictions. Tyre condition is a priority—multiple entries note cracking, perishing and rear‑tyre wear close to legal limits. Suspension components such as the Macpherson struts, lower‑arm bushes and rear axle swivel pins show corrosion and wear; these must be examined closely. Finally, the history records sill corrosion and an exhaust leak; the under‑body and exhaust system should be inspected for structural integrity and gas leaks.
