2008 Toyota Aygo 1.0L Petrol · FE58 TTO

The 2023 MOT for this 2008 Toyota Aygo recorded 94,708 miles and resulted in a pass, but multiple serious defects were noted. Corrosion was widespread, including the rear brake hose ferrules, sub-frame, and outer sills, with structural rigidity still deemed acceptable. Front brake discs showed pitting, and all shock absorbers and coil springs were in poor condition. Tyres were worn close to the legal limit, and brake pipes were corroded and greasy. These issues indicate significant wear and potential safety risks. A recurring pattern of corrosion in brake components, suspension, and body structure is evident from 2021 onwards. The 2021-08-03 MOT failed due to a severely corroded brake pipe, a major exhaust leak, and pitted brake discs, while subsequent MOTs (2021-08-12, 2022-09-30) consistently highlighted deteriorating brake hoses. The 2023 MOT shows similar issues persisting, suggesting corrosion has not been fully addressed. This indicates a worsening trend in critical areas like braking and structural integrity. The vehicle’s mileage of 94,708 miles over 18 years equates to roughly 5,262 miles annually, which is low for its age.
