2016 Toyota Aygo 1.0L Petrol · FD66 CYY

A consistent record of clean MOT results defines this vehicle's recent history, following a single failure in late 2021. Since that failure, the car has achieved four consecutive passes with no recorded defects or advisories, including the most recent test on 14 October 2025. This indicates a stable trend in roadworthiness over the last four years, with the mechanical components required for testing currently meeting the necessary standards without any noted deterioration in braking, lighting, or structural integrity. The recorded mileage of 45,768 miles against a 2016 registration indicates a low annual usage pattern of approximately 4,577 miles per year. While this level of accumulation is significantly lower than the UK average for a decade-old vehicle, it implies that the mechanical components have been subjected to less frequent operational cycles. From an inspection standpoint, lower mileage often means less wear on heavy-use items like the drivetrain and suspension, but it can also mean that certain components have not been regularly exercised, which is a factor to consider alongside the documented usage. The primary mechanical concern noted in the history relates to tyre condition, specifically a dangerous structural failure on the offside front tyre in November 2021, alongside an advisory for a nearside front tyre worn close to the legal limit. Although these issues were rectified to allow for subsequent passes, a prospective buyer should inspect the current tread depth and sidewall integrity of all four tyres. During a test drive, pay close attention to any vibrations through the steering wheel or unusual road noise, which could indicate uneven wear or internal tyre damage, and ensure there is no pulling to one side under braking or acceleration. Given the low mileage and the specific history of tyre-related defects, the inspection should also focus on the condition of the suspension and steering components. While no specific suspension bushes or ball joints have been flagged in recent tests, the low-frequency usage pattern warrants a check for any knocks or clunks when driving over speed bumps or uneven surfaces. Additionally, verify that the steering feels precise and that there are no unexpected pulls, ensuring that the previous tyre issues have not resulted in any long-term alignment or geometry problems.
