2018 Toyota Aygo 1.0L Petrol · CV18 FSY

The recorded MOT history for this 2018 Toyota Aygo presents a clean and uninterrupted track record of roadworthiness across six consecutive annual tests, the most recent being a pass on 13 March 2026 with no advisories or defects recorded. Over the testing window from 2021 through 2026, the vehicle has not failed a single MOT, and the only advisories ever logged appeared on the 5 March 2024 pass, both of a relatively minor nature. The consistency of these passes, combined with the absence of any advisories on four of the six recorded tests, indicates that no persistent or developing mechanical issues have been formally identified by DVSA testers at the point of test. Given that the vehicle is now eight years old, this is a noteworthy pattern of compliance with roadworthiness standards, although MOT outcomes alone cannot confirm broader mechanical condition or service history beyond what was visible to the examiner on the day. With 28,339 miles recorded across approximately eight years, the annual mileage equates to roughly 3,542 miles per year, which is substantially below the typical average for a city car of this age. The MOT records show annual tests without any large gaps or sudden jumps in implied mileage between tests, suggesting the vehicle has been used consistently but lightly rather than having been laid up for extended periods between tests. Mechanically, this lower-than-average usage profile tends to reduce wear on high-mileage consumables such as brake discs, pads, and clutch friction material, but it can also bring specific risks associated with short journeys and prolonged standing, such as moisture accumulation in the braking system and potential corrosion of underbody components that are normally kept dry by regular operation. The lack of any recorded corrosion advisories across all six tests suggests this has not yet manifested into a flagged issue, though it remains worth inspecting closely. For a prospective buyer, the specific advisory items from the March 2024 test warrant targeted attention during a pre-purchase inspection. The nearside rear tyre recorded as slightly damaged, cracked, or perished would have been noted over two years ago, meaning the original advisory tyre will almost certainly have been replaced by now, but it is worth confirming that the current nearside rear tyre is in good condition with adequate tread depth and no sidewall damage. The advisory regarding items removed from the driver's view prior to test suggests there may have been accessories, dashcams, or phone mounts obstructing the windscreen wipers or road view at the time of test, which is a minor observation but one that points to a possible compliance issue if the vehicle is still being used with similar obstructions. On a physical inspection, pay close attention to the condition of all four tyres for any uneven wear patterns, as the Aygo's light rear axle can lead to premature outer-edge wear if tracking is out of alignment. During a test drive, particular focus should be placed on the braking system given the low annual mileage, as lightly used brake discs and pads are susceptible to surface corrosion that can produce a judder or vibration through the steering wheel or brake pedal during the first few applications from cold. Listen for any binding or uneven dragging from the rear calipers, which may manifest as pulling to one side under braking or excessive heat at the rear wheels after a short drive. Check that the clutch operation feels smooth and that there is no slipping under acceleration, as a clutch that has seen little use can still develop hydraulic issues. Inspect the underbody, sills, and suspension components for any surface rust or corrosion, particularly around the rear axle and exhaust mounting points, since low-mileage vehicles used predominantly for short urban journeys can accumulate moisture-related corrosion without the drying effect of longer motorway runs. Finally, verify that all warning lamps illuminate and extinguish correctly, that the cooling fan operates, and that the vehicle starts promptly without extended cranking, as a battery that has endured many short trips without regular full charging cycles can present borderline starting performance.
