2013 Toyota Aygo 1.0L Petrol · DF63 EGK

An unbroken run of clean passes across seven recorded MOT tests, the most recent being on 24 November 2025, defines the roadworthiness profile of this 2013 Toyota Aygo. With no advisories issued at the last test and the four preceding tests also returning a clean result with no defects recorded, the recent record presents a stable and unremarkable compliance picture. The only minor items of note were a nearside rear tyre sidewall defect flagged in December 2020 and front brake disc corrosion on the inner surfaces noted in December 2019, both of which were advisories rather than failures and neither of which has reappeared in subsequent tests. There is no evidence of structural corrosion, suspension component wear, exhaust failure, lighting defects, or brake hydraulic issues across the recorded history. Against a thirteen-year vehicle age, the recorded mileage of 34,947 miles equates to an average annual accumulation of roughly 2,688 miles, which sits well below the typical usage rate for a city car of this vintage. There are no gaps in annual testing and the mileage progression between tests appears consistent and gradual, suggesting the vehicle has remained in regular but light service rather than having been laid up for extended periods. While low mileage reduces wear on major drivetrain and braking components, prolonged standing periods can bring their own concerns with respect to ageing rubber, brake caliper seizure, and stale fluids, although the MOT record itself shows none of these progressing to a flagged condition. For a prospective buyer, the advisories on record point to two areas worth a focused physical inspection. The front brake discs were noted as showing corrosion on their inner surfaces in late 2019, and although nothing has been flagged since, inner-pitted discs on a low-mileage car are often the result of infrequent use allowing surface rust to establish itself. On a test drive, listen for any scraping or grinding from the front wheels on light brake application, and feel for judder through the brake pedal or steering wheel under firm braking, which would suggest the discs have deteriorated unevenly. The nearside rear tyre sidewall damage recorded in 2020 is also worth confirming has been resolved by inspecting the current sidewalls for cracking, bulges, or perishing, particularly given the vehicle's age and the dry-rotting risk that accompanies low annual mileage and limited UV exposure rotation. Beyond the advisory-linked components, a thorough pre-purchase check should focus on the items most commonly affected by age rather than mileage on a 2013 Aygo. Inspect the rear axle and suspension bushes for cracking or splitting, as rubber components deteriorate with calendar age regardless of distance covered. Check that all doors, the tailgate, and the sliding rear window operate smoothly, as these are known wear points on the model. On the road, pay particular attention to any clonking or knocking from the front suspension over speed humps and uneven surfaces, any pulling to one side under braking or acceleration, and any excessive vibration through the steering. Confirm that the cooling fan cycles correctly on a warm engine, and verify the operation of the clutch, which on a Aygo of this age can begin to feel heavy or show slipping if the release bearing or friction plate is wearing. A final check of all fluid levels and their condition, alongside a compression or leak-down test if accessible, would round out a sensible evaluation of this otherwise well-presented test history.
