2009 Toyota Aygo 1.0L Petrol · DA58 FJU

The 2009 Toyota Aygo presents as roadworthy following a passed MOT on 11 March 2026 at 83,289 miles, with the maintenance trend appearing stable across the recorded history. The most recent pass came on the same day as a failed attempt at identical mileage, though the DVSA entry logs no defects for either the failure or the pass. Prior tests in March 2024 and March 2023 also returned passes at 79,509 and 75,845 miles respectively, with only a same-week March 2024 failure showing no recorded defects. The absence of advisories or listed faults across five years suggests no escalating mechanical concerns. Recorded mileage sits at 83,289 against an age of seventeen years, equating to roughly 4,900 miles per year. The car covered just 3,664 miles between the March 2023 test and March 2024, then 3,780 miles to the March 2026 pass. Such low annual use implies light running but also raises the prospect of prolonged standing periods, which can accelerate perishing of rubber components, flat spots on tyres, and corrosion on brake discs. The clean record gives no evidence of neglect, yet sparse entries limit insight into consumable condition between tests. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake calipers given the vehicle's age and low-use profile. Standing time commonly induces binding rear brakes and surface rust on discs, neither of which the MOT history has flagged. Structural integrity beneath sills and subframes warrants close checking for corrosion, as the Aygo's lightweight chassis is susceptible where moisture traps form. The same-day fail and pass in March 2026 with zero defects recorded points to an administrative or presentation issue at the testing station rather than a fault with the car. Previous keepers appear to have maintained statutory testing discipline, with no advisories suggesting either careful use or prompt rectification ahead of each test.
