2016 Toyota Aygo 1.0L Petrol · CV66 JSY

The vehicle remains roadworthy but the maintenance trend shows a persistent pattern of deferred attention toward wear components. While the most recent test in November 2025 at 36,318 miles introduced a new advisory for a nearside front lower suspension arm ball joint, the recurring issues with brakes and tyres continue across several years. The consistent presence of pitted discs and worn tyres suggests the owner only addresses faults when they approach an MOT failure threshold rather than performing preventative maintenance. The mileage profile is notably low for a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,600 miles per year. This suggests primarily urban use or long periods of remaining stationary. There is a significant gap in usage between November 2023 and December 2024, where the car covered only 2,900 miles. This low-frequency use explains the persistent pitting and scoring noted on the brake discs, as infrequent braking often leads to surface corrosion on the iron rotors which is not cleared away by regular friction. A buyer must prioritize inspecting the front-end assembly, as both front discs have been flagged as worn and pitted since at least 2022. The recent advisory regarding the nearside ball joint having play indicates the beginning of suspension component degradation which will require replacement shortly to maintain handling precision. Furthermore, since the offside front tyre was near the legal limit in both 2024 and 2025, the current tread depth should be verified immediately to ensure it has not dropped since the last test.
