2010 Toyota Aygo 1.0L Petrol · DA60 UFM

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a reactive rather than proactive service pattern. While the most recent test on 18 May 2026 at 88,994 miles passed, the tester identified new issues with perished tyres and a deteriorated CV boot. The trend suggests that mechanical components are only addressed once they reach a point of failure or a significant advisory, as evidenced by the May 2023 failure. At 88,994 miles over 16 years, this Aygo has covered a low annual average of approximately 5,562 miles. The mileage data shows consistent low usage, with roughly 5,000 miles driven between the May 2025 and 2026 tests, and another 4,500 miles in the preceding year. This low mileage profile often leads to rubber components drying out due to age rather than wear, which aligns with the cracking and perishing of tyres noted in the latest MOT record. A buyer must scrutinise the front drive assembly, as the nearside front drive shaft CV boot was flagged as severely deteriorated in three consecutive years between 2023, 2025, and 2026. Failure to replace these boots promptly will lead to grease loss and bearing failure, resulting in expensive CV joint replacements. Additionally, the 2023 failure due to thin brake pads and pitted discs indicates that the owner previously neglected consumable items until they became safety risks. The physical inspection should also focus on the condition of all four tyres, as the recent test noted damage on both the front and nearside rear. Given the age of the vehicle and the low mileage, a thorough check for corrosion on the chassis and exhaust system is essential, as structural integrity can affect older city vehicles. The windscreen chip noted in 2025 should be monitored to ensure it has not spread into the driver's field of view due to temperature changes.
