2012 Toyota Aygo 1.0L Petrol · FD12 AOF

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a shift toward reactive repairs rather than proactive upkeep. The most recent test in April 2026 at 68,518 miles resulted in a failure due to a poorly aimed headlamp and a warning regarding the handbrake. While the car passed immediately upon re-test, the advisory on the rear brake adjustment indicates that the braking system is reaching the end of its adjustment range and will require attention to prevent future failure. At 14 years old, the recorded mileage of 68,518 miles is significantly low, averaging approximately 4,900 miles per year. This usage pattern is consistent across the records, with only 7,756 miles covered between April 2024 and April 2025, and 6,510 miles between April 2023 and April 2024. While low mileage reduces engine wear, the low frequency of use suggests the vehicle may have sat for extended periods, which often leads to rubber component degradation and seized components. A buyer must perform a close physical inspection of the front suspension and structural points. The 2024 test at 53,562 miles flagged corrosion on the rear sub-frame and the offside front coil spring. Although these were not marked as structural weaknesses at that time, corrosion on low-mileage vehicles tends to progress unchecked if the car is not cleaned. Additionally, the history of worn front brake discs and pads across 2023 and 2024 suggests the front braking assembly is nearing a replacement cycle. The buyer should verify the handbrake tension and ensure the rear drums are not binding or heavily rusted due to the low usage patterns.
