2016 Toyota Aygo 1.0L Petrol · FN16 XFF

The 2016 Toyota Aygo demonstrates a highly stable maintenance trend, culminating in a flawless pass on 19 June 2025 at 43,926 miles. The tester recorded zero defects, extending a five-year sequence of entirely clean MOT certificates. This consistent record suggests the vehicle has remained mechanically sound without any recurring or unresolved faults. Mileage accumulation sits well below the national average for a ten-year-old vehicle, totaling just 43,926 miles. The usage pattern, however, is erratic. Between the June 2021 test at 31,068 miles and the June 2022 test at 31,761 miles, the car covered a mere 693 miles. Activity increased slightly to 1,273 miles over the following year, then jumped significantly to 8,011 miles between May 2023 and June 2024. Strikingly, the vehicle added only 11 miles between the June 2024 and June 2025 tests. Such minimal recent use implies long periods of inactivity, a condition that can lead to brake disc corrosion, seized calipers, and perished rubber components. With no mechanical or structural advisories appearing on the record, the physical inspection must focus on the specific risks associated with low-mileage, sporadic use. Examine the brake discs closely for surface corrosion and check that the calipers are not binding, a common issue when vehicles stand unused for extended periods. Inspect the tyre sidewalls for age-related cracking and check for flat-spotting caused by the car remaining stationary. Suspension bushes and exhaust mounts may have perished from a lack of regular flexing and thermal cycling rather than mileage wear. Finally, assess the underbody structural integrity, as short-trip driving prevents moisture from evaporating, potentially accelerating corrosion on a vehicle that has spent much of its life stationary.
