2013 Toyota Aygo 1.0L Petrol · CK63 CCZ

Corrosion on the front and rear subframes, alongside emerging issues with braking components and tyre wear, represents the primary mechanical concern for this vehicle following its pass on 20 May 2026. While the car maintained a clean record from 2021 through 2024, the most recent inspection shows a shift towards structural and consumable degradation. The presence of subframe corrosion, although noted as not seriously weakened, combined with advisories for pitted front brake discs and worn tyres on both front corners, indicates that the vehicle's recent history is moving away from the defect-free status seen in previous years. The recorded mileage of 104,202 miles over a thirteen-year period equates to an average annual accumulation of approximately 8,016 miles. This usage pattern is consistent with typical light-to-moderate residential driving. Mechanically, this level of mileage suggests that while the drivetrain may not have been subjected to heavy long-distance motorway stress, components such as suspension bushes, braking systems, and subframe integrity are reaching ages where environmental exposure and cumulative wear become more evident in the MOT record. A prospective buyer should pay close attention to the chassis and braking system during a physical inspection and test drive. The advisory regarding corrosion on both the front and rear subframes necessitates a close visual check for any signs of scaling or structural thinning that may have progressed since the May 2026 test. Furthermore, the 2025 advisory regarding binding nearside and offside rear service brakes, coupled with the recent report of pitted front brake discs, suggests the braking system requires scrutiny. During a test drive, listen for any grinding noises from the wheels, feel for pedal judder when braking at speed, or any pulling to one side which could indicate a sticking caliper. The recent advisories for nearside and offside front tyres being worn close to the legal limit or worn on the edges also warrant immediate attention. Check the tread depth across the entire width of the tyre to ensure there is no uneven wear, which could point to underlying suspension or alignment issues. Additionally, the 2025 report of a corroded offside rear brake pipe should be verified to ensure the corrosion has not spread or compromised the integrity of the hydraulic lines. Any rhythmic humming or growling noises during the drive could also be a sign of wheel bearing wear, a component that has previously failed on this vehicle.
