2018 Toyota Aygo 1.0L Petrol · DF67 VXL

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a trend of reactive rather than proactive care. The most recent MOT test in May 2026 at 50,576 miles resulted in a failure just two miles prior due to a critical offside front tyre with exposed cords. While the car passed immediately after repairs, the tester flagged worn bushes on both the nearside and offside front lower suspension arms. This indicates that the suspension components are beginning to reach their functional limit and require close monitoring. The mileage pattern is consistent with an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,300 miles per year. Between the May 2024 test at 31,271 miles and the May 2026 test at 50,576 miles, the car covered nearly 20,000 miles in two years, showing a recent increase in usage compared to the earlier years. This increased activity explains the recurring defects recorded in the later stages of the history, which show accelerated wear on the braking system and suspension hardware. A buyer should inspect the front suspension closely to assess the extent of the play in the lower arm bushes, as the 2026 advisory suggests these are nearing total failure. The braking system also shows a history of neglect, with pads and discs being flagged as thin or worn in both 2023 and 2025. You must verify the current thickness of the front pads and check the discs for deep scoring or pitting despite the previous replacements. The recent failure for a corded tyre also suggests the owner may only address safety-critical items when a test fails, necessitating a thorough physical check of all tyres and rubber components before purchase.
