2016 Toyota Aygo 1.0L Petrol · FN16 XDH

The vehicle remains roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a slight shift toward reactive repairs rather than preventative care. The most recent test in September 2025 at 67,292 miles revealed that the parking brake efficiency only marginally met the legal threshold. This indicates the braking mechanism is reaching the end of its effective adjustment interval and requires attention, following the previously pitted front brake discs noted in early 2022. The mileage pattern is remarkably consistent for a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,700 miles per year. The data shows steady progression, moving from 54,528 miles in February 2022 to 67,292 miles by September 2025. This low-intensity usage suggests short-distance urban driving, which places less strain on the drivetrain and engine but can often lead to moisture buildup and accelerated wear on rubber components and suspension bushes if the car has sat stationary for extended periods. A buyer should conduct a close inspection of the front suspension and braking system. The September 2024 test flagged worn anti-roll bar linkage bushes on both front sides, and while these did not cause a failure at the time, they represent a known point of wear on this model. The marginal parking brake result necessitates a physical check of the cable tension and rear shoes to ensure immediate stability. Additionally, verify the tyre alignment patterns, as the 2022 advisory regarding a worn nearside rear tyre suggests a previous alignment issue may not have been fully rectified.
