2014 Toyota Aygo 1.0L Petrol · FH64 AAX

The 2014 Toyota Aygo has maintained a clean MOT history with no recorded defects across five consecutive tests, most recently passing on 16 September 2025 at 93,547 miles. This suggests a stable roadworthiness trend, though the lack of advisories or minor faults means no red flags have been explicitly raised by testers. The most recent test occurred just under ten months ago, placing it within the DVSA’s recommended interval for annual checks, though the vehicle’s age and mileage now necessitate closer scrutiny of high-wear components. Mileage progression shows consistent usage, averaging around 7,800 miles annually—a rate typical for a vehicle of this age. There are no unusual gaps or spikes; the 2022 test dates are unusually close (17 October for failure, 18 October for retest), but the retest passed immediately, indicating a straightforward issue resolved without further delay. The steady accumulation suggests regular driving rather than prolonged storage, though the lack of advisories in earlier tests means no deferred maintenance is documented. Given the absence of MOT-reported faults, the primary focus for an in-person inspection should centre on suspension integrity, particularly the condition of coil springs, bushes, and dampers, which are prone to fatigue at this mileage. Brake components—discs, pads, and calipers—should be checked for uneven wear or binding, especially if the vehicle has experienced aggressive braking patterns. Structural corrosion, particularly around wheel arches, sills, and the subframe, is another critical area, as Toyota Aygos from this era have shown susceptibility to rust progression over time. Finally, verify the integrity of exhaust system mounts and catalytic converter fixings, as these are common failure points in older models.
