2012 Toyota Aygo 1.0L Petrol · CP12 VMA

The 2012 Toyota Aygo's MOT record indicates a history of two failures between March 2025 and March 2026, with the most recent test (March 2026) passing at 53,762 miles. This pattern suggests a trend of worsening maintenance, as the vehicle has failed twice within a short period, which is a significant red flag for mechanical integrity. The first failure on March 25, 2026, was recorded at 53,755 miles, while the second failure on March 24, 2025, was at 49,926 miles, both without specific defect codes. The mileage accumulation is particularly concerning given the vehicle's age of 14 years. At 53,762 miles, the car has driven approximately 3,840 miles annually, which is low for its age and suggests either very light usage or extended periods of inactivity. While the 2026 test passed, the gap between the March 2025 failure and the March 2026 test indicates a lack of preventive maintenance during the 14-year interval. If the vehicle has been driven regularly, this gap could be due to neglect, whereas if it is idle, the mileage would likely be higher. The lack of a 2026 test entry means the vehicle's condition at that moment is unknown, but the history strongly implies that basic upkeep was skipped. The buyer should inspect the vehicle's suspension and braking components in person, as the two failures suggest potential issues with these parts. The first failure on March 25, 2026, was at 53,755 miles, while the second failure on March 24, 2025, was at 49,926 miles, both without defects. The 2026 test at 53,762 miles shows no defects, but the history is incomplete. The buyer must check for binding brakes, worn suspension bushings, and structural corrosion, as these are the most common causes of such failures. The vehicle's age and mileage alone do not confirm the need for a full inspection, but the two failures in a short time frame warrant a focused check on the suspension and braking systems to rule out hidden structural risks.
