2012 Toyota Aygo 1.0L Petrol · FL12 FXK

The 2012 Toyota Aygo presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 23 July 2025 at 49,856 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the three prior annual tests also passed cleanly. The single failure logged on 25 September 2024 at 49,644 miles carries no recorded defects, indicating an administrative or presentational rejection rather than a mechanical fault, with the vehicle passing on the same day under identical mileage. The mileage pattern reflects exceptionally light use for a fourteen-year-old vehicle. From the 26 September 2022 test at 48,980 miles, the car covered only 876 miles to the 27 September 2023 test at 49,313 miles, then 331 miles to 25 September 2024 at 49,644 miles, and a further 212 miles to the July 2025 pass at 49,856 miles. Average annual use sits near 3,561 miles. Such low accumulation suggests prolonged standing periods, which can allow corrosion, seized brake components, and degraded rubber bushes despite the clean MOT sheet. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake calipers for binding or seizure linked to inactivity. The DVSA record shows no advisories for exhaust emissions, structural integrity, or tyre condition, so no recurring wear trend is evident. Given the sparse and clean history, previous owners appear to have stored the car rather than neglected active maintenance. Prior to purchase, verify underbody and sill corrosion, check that brake discs are free of pitting from disuse, and confirm the tyres have not perished from age rather than mileage. The absence of flagged defects across five years is a positive signal, but low-mileage Aygo models often hide dormant issues only exposed once regular driving resumes.
