2022 Toyota Aygo X Exclusive VVT-I Auto 1.0L Petrol · CF22 OYY

A relatively untroubled roadworthiness picture emerges for this 2022 Toyota Aygo X, with two MOT tests on record and no failures logged to date. The most recent examination on 16 July 2026 resulted in a pass, although the tester took the view that both front tyres were showing slight damage, cracking or perishing at the time. The prior test on 21 July 2025 recorded no defects whatsoever, suggesting the cracking advisory has developed within the last twelve months rather than being a long-standing condition. A single advisory across the documented test history is a restrained footprint and points to a vehicle that has not exhibited the kind of recurring suspension, braking or corrosion issues that often surface on small city cars of this age. The only caveat is that two tests is a narrow dataset, so the longer-term picture of how wear items are progressing is still developing. The recorded mileage of 10,762 miles over a four-year ownership window equates to an average annual mileage of roughly 2,690 miles, which sits well below the typical usage rate for a vehicle of this age. Such low accumulation can result from genuine light use, a predominantly urban role, or extended periods of the vehicle standing un-driven between journeys. Mechanically, lower annual mileage tends to preserve braking components, clutch material and tyre tread, but it also raises the possibility of dried or perishing rubber components, oxidation on brake discs where the vehicle has been left standing for prolonged intervals, and the well-known issues that affect any car left idle for long stretches. The absence of testing gaps in the record, with the 2025 and 2026 tests roughly a year apart, is consistent with a vehicle that has remained on the road throughout, rather than one that has been laid up for any extended lay-up period. Given the advisory concerning cracking or perishing on both front tyres, any prospective buyer should make the condition and age of the front tyres a priority during physical inspection. Sidewall cracking, particularly on a vehicle that has seen limited mileage, can develop through age and UV exposure rather than wear, and replacement of both fronts is a likely near-term cost regardless of remaining tread depth. On a test drive, listen for any increase in road noise or vibration through the steering that might indicate the tyres have deteriorated beyond cosmetic cracking, and check for tramlines or uneven wear patterns that could point to suspension geometry issues rather than the rubber itself. With only two MOT tests on file and a single advisory recorded, there is little in the documented history to suggest systemic mechanical concerns, but a buyer should still carry out the standard physical checks appropriate to any low-mileage supermini. On the test drive, pay attention to any clonks or knocking from the front suspension over speed humps and uneven surfaces, as worn or perished suspension bushes can present this way even at low mileage. Confirm that the brake pedal feels firm and that the car pulls up in a straight line without any vibration through the steering wheel, which could indicate corrosion on the front brake discs from infrequent use. Check the underbody for any signs of surface corrosion on subframe components, brake lines and exhaust system, and ensure that all warning lamps extinguish promptly on start-up, given the relatively low usage the vehicle has seen.
