2008 Toyota Aygo 1.0L Petrol · EK08 AEZ

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, though the recent history indicates a slight inconsistency in testing preparation. The most recent test on 9 May 2024 at 134,188 miles resulted in a failure with no recorded defects, which suggests an administrative error or a non-mechanical failure that did not warrant a specific repair. However, the vehicle passed its 2023 and 2021 tests with no recorded defects or advisories, indicating that the core mechanical and structural components have remained within acceptable tolerances over the last several years. The mileage pattern is remarkably consistent for an 18-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,455 miles per year. Between May 2020 at 112,293 miles and May 2024 at 134,188 miles, the car covered 21,895 miles, representing a steady usage rate of roughly 5,500 miles annually. This low level of annual mileage typically reduces wear on drivetrain and braking components, though it increases the risk of age-related rubber perish and fluid degradation. Given the lack of advisories in the history, a buyer should focus on physical inspections of components that the MOT does not test to depth. Inspect the chassis for structural corrosion, particularly along the sills and rear mounting points, as these are common failure points for this era of Toyota. Check rubber bushes in the suspension for cracking or tearing, as low-mileage vehicles often age out regardless of distance. Despite the clean record, verify the condition of the brake discs for pitting and inspect the underside brake hoses to ensure they have not perished or developed leaks that were not flagged during the stationary testing process.
