2019 Toyota Aygo 1.0L Petrol · CT19 MVO

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a recent shift toward reactive repairs. The most recent MOT test on 21 August 2025 at 48,395 miles resulted in an initial failure due to a faulty central stop lamp and a nearside rear tyre worn to the legal limit. While it passed the retest immediately, the data indicates that the owner is only addressing defects once they trigger an inspection failure rather than performing preventative maintenance on consumable items. The mileage accumulation remains consistent with typical low-use urban patterns, averaging approximately 7,000 miles per year. The vehicle covered 9,247 miles between the August 2024 and August 2025 tests, and another 8,759 miles between August 2023 and August 2024. This steady usage suggests the drivetrain and structural components have not been under excessive stress, though the low annual mileage on a seven-year-old car can sometimes lead to dry-rot in rubber components or brake corrosion if the car is primarily used for very short trips. A buyer should specifically inspect the front braking system, as the August 2024 test flagged both discs as pitted and scored at 35,148 miles. This condition often indicates a lack of regular cleaning or the start of binding calipers. Furthermore, the recurring issue with the nearside rear tyre in both 2024 and 2025 suggests a potential alignment problem or a worn suspension bush that is causing uneven wear despite the low overall mileage. Check the current depth of all four tyres and look for irregular wear patterns to ensure the previous issues were fully resolved.
