2012 Toyota Aygo 1.0L Petrol · DU62 CDX

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history shows a persistent trend of structural corrosion and suspension wear. The most recent test in September 2025 at 64,032 miles passed despite advisories for a worn front anti-roll bar pin and surface corrosion on the sub-frame and sills. While the vehicle meets the legal requirements, the presence of rust on structural components across multiple tests indicates an aging process that will require close monitoring to prevent future structural integrity failures. At 64,032 miles, this Aygo has covered significantly less distance than the average, averaging approximately 4,500 miles per year. There is a notable gap of 12,522 miles between the August 2023 and September 2024 tests, followed by another 10,862 miles leading to the 2025 inspection. Low annual mileage often correlates with the perishing of rubber components noted in the 2023 record regarding the tyres, which degrade due to age and inactivity rather than tread wear. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the sub-frame and sills to ensure the noted corrosion has not progressed beyond the surface level. The tester flagged a binding rear service brake in September 2024, which was rectified, but the rear caliper and caliper assembly should be checked for uneven wear or sticking pistons. Additionally, the front shock absorbers showed external casing damage as of 2024; these should be inspected for oil leaks that would indicate an imminent seal failure.
