2012 Toyota Aygo 1.0L Petrol · FN12 XAW

The 2012 Toyota Aygo’s most recent MOT on 2025-08-07 at 114,902 miles recorded a pass with no defects, indicating a stable maintenance trend. Previous tests in 2024-08-09 (107,703 miles) and 2023-08-11 (98,741 miles) also passed, though two consecutive failures in 2024-08-06 (107,687 miles) and 2023-08-07 (98,713 miles) suggest intermittent issues. The rapid succession of failures and subsequent passes implies potential short-term fixes or minor faults resolved before retesting. No recurring defects were logged, but the pattern of failures within weeks of each other raises questions about underlying mechanical consistency. The vehicle’s mileage of 114,902 miles over 14 years equates to an average of 8,207 miles annually, aligning with typical usage for its age. MOT tests spaced roughly 12 months apart reflect regular servicing, with minimal gaps between inspections. The 2023-08-07 failure occurred just four days before the next test, suggesting a possible rushed repair. While the data lacks detailed defect descriptions, the absence of structural or emission-related issues in recent tests implies the owner prioritized compliance over long-term mechanical health. A buyer should inspect the suspension for worn bushes or coil springs, as these components often degrade with age. The braking system, including calipers and discs, warrants scrutiny for binding or uneven wear, given the history of failures. Exhaust emissions and corrosion, particularly in underbody areas, should also be checked, as these are common concerns for older vehicles. Despite the MOT’s clean record, the repeated failures highlight the need for a thorough pre-purchase inspection to identify unresolved issues not captured in the official reports.
