2008 Toyota Aygo 1.0L Petrol · FN08 JXM

The Toyota Aygo passed its most recent MOT on 20 December 2022 at 90,250 miles with no defects recorded, leaving it roadworthy at that point. The maintenance trend is stable on paper, though the record shows a recurring pattern of same-week failures followed by immediate passes, with no faults listed on any test. This suggests administrative or presentation issues at the testing station rather than progressive mechanical decline. The mileage sits at 90,250 against an 18-year lifespan, averaging roughly 5,014 miles per year, which is low for the age. The gap between the 5 January 2022 failure at 79,849 miles and the 20 December 2022 pass at 90,250 shows about 10,400 miles added in under twelve months, a short burst after a long quiet period. Prior to that the car covered minimal distance. The DVSA data is sparse and clean, with no advisories or recorded wear on tyres, brakes, suspension, or corrosion across the four tests supplied. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection despite the clear MOT history. The two failures on 5 January 2022 and 17 December 2022 listed no defects, yet a failed test implies the vehicle did not meet standards on those days. Check the suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs for hidden wear the tester did not log. Inspect structural integrity underneath for corrosion, given the Aygo's age and likely periods of standing. Confirm the reason for the twin failures with the testing garage or VOSA correspondence before purchase. Low annual mileage with standing time can mask perishing rubber components and flat-spotted tyres not captured in the record. Verify the odometer reading matches the 90,250 logged and assess overall owner care from the unusual pass-fail-pass sequence.
