2016 Toyota Aygo 1.0L Petrol · FN66 CWP

Recurring front-end suspension wear and brake component degradation represent the primary mechanical trend for this vehicle, as evidenced by the most recent MOT test on 03 September 2026. While the vehicle passed its latest inspection, the record shows a persistent pattern of advisories concerning the nearside and offside front suspension arm pins and bushes, alongside anti-roll bar linkage pins and bushes. These issues have been noted in multiple consecutive tests dating back to 2024, indicating that while the components have not yet reached a point of failure, the wear is a continuing characteristic of the vehicle's current condition. The recorded mileage of 80,424 miles over a ten-year period reflects an average annual accumulation of approximately 8,042 miles. This usage pattern is consistent with typical light-to-medium urban driving, which often places specific stresses on steering and suspension components due to frequent low-speed manoeuvres and road surface irregularities. This level of mileage suggests that while the drivetrain may not have high cumulative wear, the consumables and rubber-to-metal bonded components, such as the bushes and linkages identified in the MOT history, are reaching the end of their effective service life. A prospective buyer should pay close attention to the front suspension during a test drive to evaluate the extent of the wear noted in the 2026 advisory. Listen for rhythmic knocking, clunking, or creaking sounds when navigating uneven road surfaces or speed bumps, as these are common symptoms of worn suspension arm bushes or anti-roll bar linkages. Additionally, pay attention to the steering feel; any wandering, pulling to one side, or imprecise response through the steering wheel could indicate that the bushing wear has progressed beyond the advisory stage. The history also highlights ongoing wear on the front braking system, with the 2026 test flagging the nearside front brake disc as worn, pitted, or scored. During the test drive, monitor the brake pedal for any vibration, judder, or pulsing felt through the foot pedal when applying pressure, which can indicate disc surface irregularities. The presence of pitting on the discs also suggests they may require replacement in the near future to ensure optimal contact and braking performance.
