2011 Toyota Aygo 1.0L Petrol · DV61 CBF

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a shift toward reactive rather than proactive care. The latest test in November 2025 at 72,310 miles passed with only an advisory for a coolant level below minimum. This suggests a potential minor leak or evaporation issue that requires attention to prevent engine overheating. While the November 2024 test was entirely clean, the failure earlier in that same year indicates a period where basic safety and maintenance items were neglected. At approximately fifteen years old, the recorded mileage of 72,310 miles represents a low annual average of roughly 4,800 miles. This low usage typically means less wear on the drivetrain and engine, but it often invites degradation of rubber-based components. Between January 2023 at 57,026 miles and February 2024 at 62,224 miles, the car covered only 5,198 miles in a year, confirming that the vehicle is subject to age-related wear rather than mechanical stress. A buyer should inspect the tyres closely, as the February 2024 test flagged cracking and perishing on both the nearside front and nearside rear tyres. This is a classic symptom of low-mileage vehicles where the rubber hardens over time despite remaining tread. The anti-roll bar linkage bushes were also noted for wear in early 2024; while they did not cause a failure then, these components should be checked for play to ensure the suspension remains tight and quiet. The cooling system requires a thorough inspection due to the 2025 advisory. Check for white residue or pink staining around the hoses, radiator, and water pump. Given the age of the vehicle and the low mileage, also verify the structural integrity by checking corrosion on the chassis and exhaust system, as stationary vehicles can suffer from surface rust that more frequently driven cars avoid.
