2016 Toyota Aygo 1.0L Petrol · FH16 VDE

The 2016 Toyota Aygo presents a stable and exemplary maintenance trend, demonstrating consistent mechanical health across its recent history. The most recent MOT test on 22 May 2024, recorded at 17,325 miles, passed completely clean with no defects or advisories flagged. An anomaly exists in the 2023 record where a test on 17 May 2023 at 17,059 miles shows a failure despite no recorded defects, likely indicating an abandoned test or a procedural issue rather than a mechanical fault, as a retest on the same day passed without issue. Overall, the vehicle exhibits zero recurring mechanical or structural faults. The mileage pattern indicates exceptionally low usage, averaging roughly 1,732 miles per year, which is well below the national average. Between June 2021 and May 2022, the car covered 694 miles, followed by 573 miles over the subsequent twelve months. This declining utilization continued into 2023 and 2024, with only 266 miles recorded between May 2023 and May 2024. Crucially, the recorded mileage has remained static at 17,325 miles since the May 2024 test, meaning the vehicle has likely stood stationary for over two years as of July 2026. Despite the flawless MOT record, the prolonged stationary period and ultra-low mileage necessitate a focused physical inspection. A buyer must closely examine the tyre sidewalls for perishing and flat spots, as rubber degrades with age and lack of rotation rather than tread wear. Brake discs will almost certainly exhibit surface corrosion from standing, which can cause binding or pulsing until cleaned. The battery will likely require replacement after draining over two years of inactivity. Inspect the exhaust system for internal condensation corrosion and check the engine oil for emulsification, common issues in vehicles subjected to repeated short trips or long dormancy. Suspension bushes and seals should be checked for drying out, though the lack of MOT advisories suggests no structural rust or component failure has occurred to date.
