2011 Toyota Aygo 1.0L Petrol · DG11 KZP

The vehicle's recent MOT history indicates a worsening trend regarding exhaust and braking systems. While the most recent test on 6 October 2025 at 86,910 miles resulted in a pass, this followed a failure just eight miles earlier at 86,902 miles. The record shows a pattern of recurring emissions issues and mechanical wear that required intervention to achieve compliance. The vehicle has covered 86,910 miles over approximately 15 years, averaging roughly 5,794 miles per year. This represents low annual usage, which often suggests lighter mechanical strain on the drivetrain. However, the mileage accumulation between October 2024 and October 2025 shows a jump of nearly 4,500 miles, indicating a period of more frequent use compared to its historical average. The exhaust system requires close physical inspection. The tester flagged a major leak before the back box in October 2024 and a minor leak at the rear exhaust clamp in October 2025. Repeated failures regarding the exhaust Lambda reading suggest potential issues with the oxygen sensor or the catalytic converter's efficiency. A buyer should verify that the exhaust system has been fully replaced or repaired rather than merely patched to pass the test. Braking and tyre maintenance also show signs of neglect. The October 2025 test identified nearside front tyre wear on the inner edge and pitted or scored front brake discs. The uneven tyre wear suggests possible suspension geometry issues or worn bushes that could affect handling. I recommend a thorough check of the front suspension components and the condition of the brake discs and calipers to ensure the pitting has not progressed into structural thinning.
