2013 Toyota Aygo 1.0L Petrol · CP62 THG

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a pattern of reactive rather than proactive care. The most recent test in February 2026 at 55,638 miles resulted in a pass only after addressing failures regarding stop lamps and tyre-related issues. While the car passed the re-test, the recurring nature of the offside front brake binding and tyre wear indicates that mechanical issues are only being addressed when they threaten to fail an MOT certificate. At 55,638 miles over 13 years, this Aygo averages approximately 4,280 miles per year, which is significantly below the national average. The data shows a consistent pattern of low usage, with only 2,412 miles covered between February 2024 and January 2025, and another 3,739 miles in the following thirteen months. This low mileage often correlates with prolonged periods of standing which can lead to the degradation of rubber components and the seizing of braking hardware, which aligns with the persistent binding caliper issues noted in the record. A buyer must specifically inspect the offside front brake assembly, which was flagged for binding in both February 2024 and February 2026. This persistent fault suggests a sticking caliper piston or slide pins that may cause uneven pad wear and reduced fuel efficiency. The 2024 failure for a major exhaust leak and high lambda readings also requires physical verification to ensure the exhaust system was properly repaired and the oxygen sensor is functioning correctly. Additionally, the uneven wear noted on the offside front tyre in early February 2026 suggests an underlying alignment issue or worn suspension bushes that should be checked to prevent premature tyre replacement.
