2008 Toyota Aygo 1.0L Petrol · FP08 YNW

The 2008 Toyota Aygo presents a stable and reassuring maintenance trend, culminating in a completely clean pass on 15 December 2025 at 111,617 miles. The tester recorded zero defects at this most recent test, mirroring the outcome of the preceding three MOTs. This consistent run of fault-free assessments indicates a vehicle that has been kept in sound mechanical order. The only blemish on the record is a failed test on 2 May 2023 at 101,199 miles, though the record explicitly notes no defects were recorded for that failure. This anomaly likely points to an administrative issue or an aborted test rather than a mechanical fault, especially given the car passed cleanly just ten days later on 12 May 2023 at 101,352 miles. At eighteen years old with 111,617 miles on the clock, the Aygo has covered roughly 6,200 miles per year, which sits squarely within the typical annual range for a city car. The mileage accumulation is steady and unremarkable, showing no sudden spikes or prolonged periods of inactivity. Between the February 2024 test at 103,339 miles and the December 2024 test at 107,939 miles, the car covered 4,600 miles over ten months. The following twelve months up to the December 2025 test saw a slightly lower accumulation of 3,678 miles. This gradual, consistent progression suggests regular, everyday use rather than long periods of standing or high-mileage motorway slogs. Given the entirely clean MOT record, there are no recurring mechanical or structural advisories demanding immediate attention. However, a vehicle of this age and mileage requires a standard pre-purchase inspection focusing on typical wear items. A buyer should physically examine the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs for age-related deterioration, alongside checking the brake discs and calipers for any signs of corrosion or binding, even if emissions and structural integrity have passed recent scrutiny. Inspect the tyre tread depths and sidewalls carefully, as well as the exhaust system for early signs of corrosion. The complete absence of advisories in the DVSA record is highly positive, but a physical inspection remains essential to verify the structural integrity of the underbody and the condition of consumables that a basic MOT does not fully assess.
