2017 Toyota Aygo 1.0L Petrol · FP17 ENJ

The 2017 Toyota Aygo presents a mixed maintenance picture. The most recent test on 17 December 2025 at 41,444 miles passed, but the braking system was flagged as requiring attention. Front brake pads were wearing thin on both sides, both front discs were worn, and the front brakes were imbalanced, only just meeting the minimum standard. This suggests the braking components are approaching the end of their serviceable life and need prompt inspection or replacement. The trend is not worsening in a structural sense, but the December 2025 advisories indicate a lapse in proactive brake upkeep compared to the clean records of earlier years. The mileage pattern is notably low for a nine-year-old city car. The vehicle accumulated just 25,895 miles by December 2021, then added roughly 3,000 to 3,500 miles per year through to December 2025, when it reached 41,444 miles. This equates to approximately 4,605 miles annually, well below the UK average. Such light use typically reduces wear on drivetrain and suspension components, but prolonged periods of standing can cause perished rubber tyres and sticking brake components, which aligns with the tyre and brake issues flagged in recent tests. The December 2024 test at 38,528 miles raised advisories on both front tyres, noting they were worn close to the legal limit and showing cracking or perishing. Combined with the December 2025 brake advisories, a buyer should carefully inspect the condition of all four tyres, including sidewalls and tread depth, and assess the front brake pads, discs, and calipers for uneven wear or binding. The rear brakes and suspension bushes also warrant a physical check, as low-mileage vehicles can suffer from seized or deteriorated components due to infrequent use rather than high wear. Overall, the MOT record shows a vehicle that has been lightly used but not always meticulously maintained. The clean passes from 2021 to 2023 suggest a period of basic compliance, while the 2024 and 2025 advisories point to deferred attention on tyres and brakes. A thorough in-person inspection of the braking system, tyre age and condition, and suspension components is essential before purchase.
