2016 Toyota Aygo 1.0L Petrol · FD66 ACX

The Toyota Aygo’s most recent MOT test on 2025-05-22—just over a year ago—confirms it remains roadworthy with no defects recorded at 67,471 miles. This consistency across five consecutive annual tests (2022–2025) suggests no recurring mechanical failures or hidden issues, though the single advisory in 2022 (unlisted here) implies even minor concerns were addressed. The absence of failings on brakes, suspension, or emissions over this period indicates the vehicle has likely undergone regular servicing, though the record does not specify whether intervals align with Toyota’s recommended schedule. Buyers should verify if service records exist beyond the MOT, as some wear—such as suspension bushes or brake pads—may not trigger MOT failures until later stages. Mileage progression shows steady usage, averaging roughly 6,700 miles annually, which is typical for a vehicle of this age. There are no unusual gaps or spikes; the 2022 test dates (two entries on the same day) appear to be a duplicate entry error rather than a missed test. The lack of mileage jumps or prolonged inactivity suggests the car has been driven consistently, reducing the risk of neglected fluid changes or seized components. However, the absence of pre-MOT servicing details means some maintenance—such as timing belt replacement (if applicable) or differential fluid refresh—could be overdue. Given the clean MOT history, the primary focus for an in-person inspection should centre on suspension components, particularly the rear bushes and coil springs, which often degrade gradually without immediate MOT failings. Check for uneven tyre wear, which could indicate misaligned wheels or worn suspension. The brakes, though never failed, should be inspected for uneven pad thickness or glazed rotors, as binding calipers or warped discs can develop between tests. Corrosion around wheel arches, sills, and the subframe is also critical, as the Aygo’s lightweight construction makes it susceptible to structural weakening. Finally, verify the exhaust system for leaks or excessive rust, as emissions-related advisories are often the first sign of failing catalytic converters or oxygen sensors.
