2013 Toyota Aygo 1.0L Petrol · FL13 VMZ

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a trend of deferred repairs and recurring mechanical wear. The most recent test on 10 June 2026 at 85,466 miles passed just five days after a failure. While the car met the legal standard, the tester still noted worn anti-roll bar bushes, a distorted nearside wheel, and a minor exhaust leak despite the previous failure. This pattern suggests the owner addresses only the minimum faults required to pass the MOT rather than performing preventative maintenance on aging components. At 13 years old, the recorded mileage of 85,466 miles represents an average annual usage of approximately 6,574 miles. This is consistent with low-to-moderate city driving patterns. The data shows consistent use between test intervals, with 3,525 miles covered between May 2024 and May 2025, and another 3,357 miles in the year leading up to the June 2026 test. The mileage does not suggest long periods of stagnation which would typically accelerate the degradation of rubber-based components. A buyer must conduct a close inspection of the suspension system, as the record shows multiple issues including worn anti-roll bar linkages and a corroded offside front coil spring noted in 2025. The repeated mention of distorted road wheels on multiple corners across several years indicates frequent impact from potholes or kerbs, which may compromise the wheel geometry. Furthermore, the minor exhaust leak identified in the June 2026 test should be monitored to ensure it does not progress into a larger structural failure of the exhaust manifold. The braking system also requires attention due to the history of a binding nearside front service brake in 2025 and thin brake pads in 2024. The buyer should verify that the calipers are operating freely and that the discs show no significant scoring. Given the recurring nature of electrical failures involving fog lamps and stop lights in previous tests, a full functional check of all exterior lighting is necessary to ensure the wiring and bulbs are not failing.
