2010 Toyota Aygo 1.0L Petrol · FE60 HKB

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history reveals a concerning trend of structural and mechanical degradation. While it passed the latest test in October 2025 at 100,273 miles, the record shows multiple advisories regarding corroded brake pipes and binding rear calipers. The transition from a failure in October 2024 due to excessive corrosion on the sill and suspension mounting area to a pass suggests that significant repairs were performed, yet the underlying issue of rust remains a persistent threat. At 100,273 miles over 16 years, the Aygo averages approximately 6,267 miles per annum, which is consistent with low-use urban driving. The mileage accumulation is steady, with roughly 6,000 to 7,000 miles covered each year between 2022 and 2025. This consistent usage pattern does not explain the recurring mechanical failures, such as the steering rack and wheel bearing, which suggest the vehicle has been exposed to harsh conditions or suffered from a lack of preventative maintenance. A buyer must prioritise a thorough physical inspection of the sills and suspension mounting points to ensure the structural corrosion flagged in the 2024 failure has been properly treated rather than merely masked. The recurring presence of corroded brake pipes covered in grease across 2022, 2023, and 2025 indicates a pattern of hiding rust rather than replacing the failing components. Furthermore, the binding rear brakes should be checked for uneven pad wear, and the steering rack inner joints must be tested for any remaining play to ensure the previous repair was definitive.
