2017 Toyota Aygo 1.0L Petrol · DF17 WEP

A pattern of intermittent advisories regarding braking components and minor peripheral wear defines this vehicle's recent MOT history, though the most recent test on 10 December 2025 shows no recorded defects. While the record is largely clean, the June 2025 inspection highlighted specific concerns with the front braking system, including worn and pitted brake discs on both the nearside and offside fronts, alongside thinning brake pads. This indicates a period of component degradation that was not present in the 2024 or 2023 tests, suggesting that while the vehicle is currently passing, the braking hardware has undergone measurable wear. The recorded mileage of 30,122 miles for a 2017 model represents a low annual average of approximately 3,347 miles per year. This usage profile suggests the vehicle has been driven significantly less than the UK average, which can result in less frequent mechanical cycling of components. While low mileage generally implies less wear on the drivetrain and engine, it can also lead to specific issues such as surface corrosion on brake discs if the vehicle sits stationary for extended periods, which aligns with the pitting and scoring noted in the June 2025 advisory. Prospective buyers should pay close attention to the front braking assembly during a test drive to ensure the issues noted in mid-2025 have been addressed. Listen for any rhythmic squealing or grinding noises when applying the brakes, which could indicate worn pads, and feel for any pedal judder or pulsations through the brake pedal, which often signals warped or unevenly worn discs. Additionally, check for any pulling to one side during braking, which might suggest a binding caliper or uneven pad wear. Beyond the braking system, the history shows minor advisories regarding valve stem damage in 2020 and a deteriorated registration plate in 2021. While these are non-structural and peripheral, the low annual mileage means it is prudent to inspect the tyres for flat spots or uneven tread wear caused by infrequent use. Ensure the tyre pressures are correct and the rubber does not show signs of perishing or sidewall cracking, which can occur when a vehicle is driven sparingly.
