2016 Toyota Aygo 1.0L Petrol · EN16 JFO

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a trend of reactive repairs rather than proactive upkeep. The most recent test on 15 June 2026 at 71,662 miles resulted in an initial failure due to headlamp aim, defects, and suspension wear. While the car passed immediately after rectification, the tester noted the parking brake efficiency only just met the legal threshold, indicating the braking system is reaching the limit of its effective range and requires imminent adjustment or service to prevent future failure. The mileage pattern is consistent with a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,166 miles per year. Between July 2024 at 50,515 miles and July 2025 at 64,203 miles, the car covered 13,688 miles, followed by another 7,459 miles leading up to the most recent test. This steady suggests regular operation rather than long stationary periods, which explains the gradual wear on rubber components and mechanical-related items noted throughout the record. A buyer should pay close attention to the front suspension, as anti-roll bar linkage pins and bushes have been flagged as worn in all three annual tests since 2024. The recurring nature of this fault suggests they are being replaced only when inspected rather than as a preventative measure. Additionally, the offside front inner road wheel was noted as slightly distorted in both 2024 and 2025; a physical inspection should check for vibrations at speed or further uneven tyre wear caused by this persistent wheel defect. The braking system remains a priority for physical inspection. Given that the parking brake barely passed in June 2026, a technician should inspect the cable tension and drums or shoes for wear or seized mechanism. The defective headlamp lenses and registration plate mentioned in the latest test are minor cosmetic and functional issues, but they should be verified to ensure they were fully resolved during the retest.
