2015 Toyota Aygo 1.0L Petrol · DX65 XML

The 2015 Toyota Aygo presents a mixed mechanical picture. The most recent MOT on 31 July 2025 at 45,749 miles passed, yet the tester flagged an offside front service brake binding but not excessively. This is not a new issue. The same binding brake advisory appeared in the 2022 test at 33,967 miles, meaning this fault has persisted across three years and over 11,000 miles without being rectified. The maintenance trend is therefore stable but incomplete. Core safety systems pass, yet a recurring brake concern remains unresolved. The mileage profile is notably low for an eleven-year-old city car. The vehicle has covered roughly 45,749 miles over its life, averaging approximately 4,159 miles per year. The annual increments are consistent rather than erratic, rising from 28,988 miles in September 2021 to 33,967 miles by September 2022, then to 37,391 miles by August 2023, and 42,133 miles by August 2024. There are no dramatic jumps or suspicious gaps in the record. This pattern suggests regular short-distance use rather than long periods of dormancy, which reduces concerns about deterioration from standing still. A buyer should focus the physical inspection on the front braking system. The repeated binding advisory on the offside front caliper or mechanism warrants a thorough check for seized guide pins, a collapsed brake hose, or uneven pad wear. The tester also noted offside front outer brake linings wearing thin in the 2023 test at 37,391 miles, so disc thickness and pad condition on that side deserve close scrutiny. Suspension wear is present but manageable. Both front anti-roll bar linkage pins or bushes were flagged as worn but not resulting in excessive movement in the 2024 test at 42,133 miles. This is a common low-mileage urban wear item, yet it should be checked for play. Tyre condition has been a recurring minor theme. Rear tyres showed cracking or perishing in both the 2023 and 2024 tests, and the nearside rear appeared again in 2024. The 2021 test highlighted a nearside front tyre worn close to the legal limit. These advisories suggest previous owners deferred basic tyre replacements. A buyer should inspect all four tyres for age-related sidewall deterioration, uneven tread depth, and date codes, particularly if the rubber is original or older than five years. No structural corrosion or emissions failures appear in the record, which is a positive sign for a small urban vehicle of this age.
