2017 Toyota Aygo 1.0L Petrol · EK17 FWR

The 2017 Toyota Aygo presents a stable and largely reassuring roadworthiness profile, with the most recent MOT conducted on 27 March 2026 at 36,140 miles resulting in a pass. The sole advisory on that test was a nearside front tyre worn close to the legal limit and worn on edge, indicating a minor consumable wear item rather than a structural or mechanical concern. Looking back, the record shows a pattern of consistent, low-mileage use with no dangerous or major defects ever recorded. The maintenance trend is stable, with only minor, predictable wear items flagged over the years, suggesting the vehicle has been driven gently and serviced adequately. The mileage accumulation tells a clear story of very light use. From the first test in March 2023 at 14,699 miles to the latest in March 2026 at 36,140 miles, the car covered roughly 21,441 miles over three years, averaging about 7,147 miles annually. However, the earlier years appear even quieter, with only 7,536 miles added between March 2023 and March 2024, and 7,139 miles between March 2024 and March 2025. This sub-4,000-mile-per-year average across its nine-year life is well below typical national figures, pointing to short urban journeys or extended periods of inactivity. Such low mileage can preserve mechanical components but also raises the question of moisture-related issues from infrequent use, particularly around brake corrosion and exhaust system condensation. The recurring advisories centre on front brake components and tyre wear, which is entirely consistent with a city car used for short trips. In March 2024 at 22,235 miles, the tester flagged front brake pads wearing thin and a front brake disc that was worn, pitted, or scored, alongside an offside front tyre worn close to the legal limit. These are front-end consumable items that wear faster on any front-heavy hatchback driven in stop-start conditions. A prospective buyer should inspect the current condition of the front brake discs and pads in person, checking for lipping, scoring, and uneven pad thickness. The offside front tyre wear pattern also warrants a close look at wheel alignment and suspension bushes, as edge wear on one side often hints at a tracking or bush issue rather than simple underinflation. Beyond the flagged items, the clean record for structural integrity, exhaust emissions, and steering components is encouraging for a nine-year-old city car. Still, a physical inspection should include an underside check for surface corrosion on the exhaust, subframe, and suspension mounting points, particularly given the likelihood of short journeys that prevent underbody components from drying thoroughly. The windscreen wiper failure recorded on the same day as a pass in March 2023 was a minor, quickly resolved item and does not indicate a broader electrical or maintenance concern. Overall, this Aygo appears to have been lightly used and reasonably maintained, with no evidence of serious mechanical neglect.
