2010 Toyota Aygo 1.0L Petrol · EX10 ABV

The vehicle shows a pattern of reactive maintenance, where faults are often addressed only after an MOT failure occurs. In the most recent test in October 2025 at 163,981 miles, the car passed after failing on multiple lighting and suspension issues. However, the tester noted significant wear across the front suspension, including worn control arm bushes and anti-roll bar linkages on both sides, alongside a defective central exhaust mounting. The presence of multiple tyres reaching the legal limit or showing signs of perishing suggests that consumable items are not replaced proactively but rather at the point of failure. The mileage progression is consistent with a 16-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 10,000 miles per year. There is a notable period of activity between 2021 and 2024, where the car covered over 55,000 miles in three years. During the 2024 inspection at 149,210 miles, the vehicle failed for an inoperative engine management light, severely worn brakes, and a major leak in the exhaust system. The fact that the engine light was previously inoperative and emissions could not be completed indicates potential underlying electronic or sensor faults, which are critical for a vehicle of this age. Structural and rubber-related degradation has persisted throughout the record. The nearside front CV boot was flagged as severely deteriorated in four consecutive years from 2021 to 2024, indicating a long delay in addressing drivetrain protection. Corrosion was also noted on the front bumper mountings and the passenger door hinge, both of which have been logged since 2022. A buyer should carefully inspect the current state of the exhaust system and the integrity of the suspension mounts, as the history shows a recurring trend of mounting and bushing components failing.
