2018 Toyota Aygo 1.0L Petrol · EF68 CFJ

The vehicle remains roadworthy, though the most recent inspection indicates a shift from a previously clean record to emerging defects. While the car passed four consecutive tests between 2022 and 2025 without any faults, the test in May 2026 at 12,357 miles flagged three distinct issues. This trend suggests that while the mechanical components remained stable, the vehicle is now showing signs of age associated with its specific usage profile. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging only 1,545 miles per year. There is a notable gap between the 2022 test at 2,104 miles and the 2024 test at 5,648 miles, where the car covered over 3,500 miles in seventeen months. This low annual mileage often leads to age-related degradation of rubber components rather than mechanical wear from friction. The data shows the car has likely sat for long periods or used only for very short trips, explaining the mileage. A buyer must inspect the offside rear tyre specifically, as the 2026 record noted cracking and perishing on the outer sidewall, which is a common symptom of dry rot in low-use vehicles. The distorted nearside rear road wheel also indicates a past impact, which should be checked for lateral run or structural damage to the rim alloy. The active TPMS light requires a diagnostic check to determine if a sensor is faulty or there is a slow leak. Given the low mileage, the buyer should also check for brake disc corrosion or seized calipers, which frequently occur when vehicles are not driven frequently enough to clear the braking surfaces.
