2017 Toyota Aygo 1.0L Petrol · FD66 ACY

The 2017 Toyota Aygo has maintained a clean MOT history with no defects recorded across all five tests, including the most recent examination on 19 February 2026 at 37,964 miles. This consistency suggests the vehicle has been subject to either diligent maintenance or minimal stress, with no evidence of recurring mechanical failures. The absence of advisories or minor faults in any of the tests further reinforces the impression of stable roadworthiness, though a thorough physical inspection remains essential to confirm the condition of non-MOT-tested components such as suspension bushes, coil springs, and underbody corrosion. The recorded mileage of 37,964 miles over nine years—approximately 4,218 miles annually—indicates unusually light usage for a vehicle of this age. The gap between the 2020 and 2021 tests, where mileage only increased by 479 miles in 11 months, and the subsequent slow accumulation of 5,605 miles over two years, imply prolonged periods of inactivity. While low mileage generally correlates with reduced wear on high-stress components like brakes and drivetrain, it also raises questions about whether the vehicle has been stored in conditions that could accelerate corrosion or degrade fluids. The lack of mileage spikes between tests suggests no aggressive driving patterns, but the overall pattern may indicate the car was not regularly driven, potentially exposing it to environmental risks. Given the clean MOT record, the primary focus of an in-person inspection should centre on suspension integrity and underbody corrosion. The absence of MOT advisories does not guarantee these areas have been unaffected—suspension bushes and coil springs, particularly at the rear, often degrade silently over time. Similarly, the vehicle’s age and low mileage could mean rust has developed in less obvious locations, such as wheel arches, subframes, or exhaust mounts. Brake components, while not flagged in tests, should be checked for uneven wear or binding calipers, as low mileage can sometimes mask gradual deterioration. Finally, fluid levels—brake, power steering, and coolant—should be verified, as stagnation can lead to contamination or degradation. The lack of advisories does not preclude these issues; they simply were not severe enough to fail the MOT.
