2010 Toyota Aygo 1.0L Petrol · FP10 ERY

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a trend of reactive rather than proactive care. While it passed its latest test on 30 December 2025 at 63,823 miles, it had failed just one mile prior due to significant braking issues. The tester flagged the offside rear parking brake for grabbing severely and imbalance across the axle, which were seemingly rectified before the subsequent pass. This suggests the owner only addresses mechanical faults when strictly necessary to secure an MOT certificate, rather than performing routine preventative maintenance. The mileage profile is notably low for a 16-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,000 miles per year. There is a clear gap between January 2023 (52,424 miles) and January 2025 (61,465 miles), where the car covered just over 9,000 miles. This low annual usage often correlates with the degradation of rubber components, which is evidenced by the recurring reports of perished front tyres and worn suspension arm bushes noted in the 2023 and early 2025 records. A buyer must closely inspect the structural integrity of the outer sills and seat belt anchorages. Corrosion has been flagged in these areas across 2023 and 2025, and while the tester currently classifies it as not excessive, rust on an aging Toyota tends to progress rapidly over time. The suspension also requires attention, as previous records show corroded coil springs and worn bushes in the front and rear arms. Given the history of binding calipers and pitted brake discs, a thorough check of the braking system is essential to ensure the recent repairs have held and that the components are not prematurely worn.
