2011 Toyota Aygo 1.0L Petrol · CU61 FWH

The most recent MOT on 21 August 2025 recorded a pass, and the preceding three years each show a pass with no recorded defects. Although the data also lists a failure on the same dates, the absence of any noted faults suggests those entries are administrative anomalies rather than genuine re‑tests. Across the last three annual cycles the vehicle has consistently cleared the test, indicating a stable maintenance pattern with no apparent deterioration in the items inspected by the DVSA. At 115,875 miles the Aygo averages roughly 7,700 miles per year over its fifteen‑year life, which sits comfortably within the typical usage envelope for a small city car. The mileage progression appears linear with no large gaps that would hint at prolonged periods of storage, nor any spikes that would suggest intensive high‑speed or heavy‑load operation. Consequently the wear on consumables such as tyres, brake pads and suspension components is likely to be proportionate to age rather than excessive mileage‑driven fatigue. Given the clean MOT record, the buyer should focus on age‑related inspections. Tyre sidewalls should be examined for cracking, dry rot or hardening, especially if any tyre is older than six years, regardless of tread depth. Verify the 12‑volt battery’s cranking voltage and, if possible, have a load test performed; a battery of this age may suffer from sulphation even if it still holds a charge. Inspect the engine bay for any signs of fluid leakage – oil, coolant and brake fluid reservoirs often develop minute cracks over time – and confirm that the last oil change and coolant flush were performed within the manufacturer’s recommended intervals, typically every 10‑15 000 miles or two years for coolant. On the road, listen for any clunk, squeak or knock that could indicate worn suspension bushes, deteriorating coil‑spring mounts or loose steering rack components. Test the brakes for consistent pedal feel; surface rust on the discs is normal after periods of inactivity, but excessive rust or a pulsating pedal may point to warped rotors or worn pads that will need replacement soon. Finally, check the exhaust system for rusted hangers or perforations and confirm that the vehicle’s service book contains regular oil, filter and timing‑belt (or chain) entries, as these are key indicators that the drivetrain has been cared for despite the lack of recorded MOT defects.
