2015 Toyota Aygo 1.0L Petrol · DX65 XMD

The 2015 Toyota Aygo presents a stable and largely reassuring roadworthiness profile. The most recent MOT, conducted on 17 September 2025 at 45,052 miles, resulted in a pass, though the tester flagged the offside front tyre worn close to the legal limit and worn on the inner edge. This single advisory aside, the vehicle has passed every test since records began in 2021, with no dangerous or major defects recorded across the entire history. The maintenance trend is broadly stable, with only minor, predictable wear items appearing at reasonable intervals. The mileage pattern is notably low for an eleven-year-old city car. The vehicle has covered just 45,052 miles since new, averaging roughly 4,096 miles per year. The annual increments are consistent and gradual, rising from 27,929 miles in September 2021 to 45,052 miles by September 2025, a gain of approximately 17,123 miles over four years. There are no sudden spikes or suspicious gaps in the odometer readings, suggesting regular rather than sporadic use, though the overall low annual mileage does mean the car may have spent extended periods stationary, which can affect tyre condition, brake surface corrosion, and fuel system health. The advisory history points to a handful of recurring wear areas worth inspecting in person. The offside front tyre has appeared on two consecutive tests, first in September 2022 when the offside front brake pads were flagged as wearing thin, and again in September 2025 with inner edge wear on the same tyre. This combination suggests a possible alignment or suspension geometry issue, such as worn tracking or a deteriorating suspension bush, causing uneven tyre wear concentrated on the nearside front corner. The offside rear shock absorber was noted in September 2021 at 27,929 miles for a light oil misting, a common early sign of seal degradation on higher-mileage or aged dampers. Although this did not reappear on subsequent tests, a physical inspection of all shock absorbers for fresh weeping, corrosion, or bounce-test failure remains prudent given the vehicle's age. Prospective buyers should prioritise a close inspection of the front suspension and steering components, paying particular attention to the offside front tyre's inner sidewall, the condition of the front brake discs and pads, and the integrity of the shock absorber seals. A four-wheel alignment check would be a sensible precaution given the recurring inner-edge tyre wear. The subframe, sills, and underbody should also be examined for corrosion, particularly if the vehicle has been used infrequently or stored outdoors. Overall, the MOT record reflects a mechanically sound vehicle with no structural or systemic failures, but the pattern of front-end wear items warrants targeted due diligence before purchase.
