2015 Toyota Aygo 1.0L Petrol · CV15 AEW

The Toyota Aygo in question demonstrates a consistent roadworthiness record over the past three MOT cycles, with no defects or advisories recorded in the most recent tests. The vehicle passed its most recent inspection on 5 August 2025 at 51,262 miles, followed by a clean pass on 31 August 2024 at 45,111 miles—both within the standard 12-month interval. The only anomaly is a duplicate test date in November 2023, where the vehicle was first failed (though no defects were logged), then retested and passed the same day, suggesting either a clerical error or an unusually brief turnaround for repairs. The absence of recurring faults or advisories implies that, at least in terms of MOT compliance, the vehicle has been maintained at a basic level without obvious neglect. However, the lack of defects does not preclude underlying issues that might not have been testable or visible at the time of inspection. The recorded mileage of 51,262 miles over approximately 11 years—roughly 4,660 miles annually—is notably low for a vehicle of this age, particularly given that the majority of miles were accumulated in the last three years. Between November 2022 and August 2025, the vehicle covered 7,500 miles, a significant jump from the previous 1,841 miles logged over the prior 18 months. This suggests either a change in usage patterns or extended periods of inactivity, which could impact components like suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake calipers due to prolonged static loading. The gap between the 2023 and 2022 tests—just 841 miles in 12 months—further reinforces the possibility of the vehicle being stored for extended periods, which may have contributed to minor wear or corrosion not yet visible in the MOT history. Given the clean MOT record, a prospective buyer should prioritise a thorough inspection of suspension components, particularly the rear suspension bushes and coil springs, which are prone to degradation over time and may have been affected by the vehicle’s intermittent usage. The brakes, while not flagged in the MOT, should be checked for uneven wear or binding calipers, especially if the vehicle has experienced sudden mileage increases, as this could indicate recent heavy braking or inadequate maintenance. Structural integrity is another critical area—inspect the wheel arches, sills, and subframe for corrosion, as prolonged standing can accelerate rust formation in vulnerable areas. Finally, the exhaust system and emissions should be examined for leaks or excessive carbon buildup, as these are often overlooked until they become MOT failures. The absence of advisories in the MOT history does not guarantee these components are in perfect condition, so a detailed mechanical assessment is essential.
