2017 Toyota Aygo 1.0L Petrol · FP17 KMA

The vehicle remains roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT on 1 May 2026 at 39,250 miles. While the car consistently passes inspections, the maintenance trend reveals a persistent pattern of neglect regarding tyre condition. The tester has flagged the nearside rear tyre for cracking or perishing in four of the last five tests, indicating that the rubber is failing due to age and lack of regular use rather than tread wear. The mileage profile is notably low for a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,361 miles per year. Between the 2024 test at 38,042 miles and the May 2026 test at 39,250 miles, the car covered only 1,208 miles. This low usage suggests short-distance trips or long periods of inactivity, which often leads to the accelerated degradation of rubber-based components like seals, bushes, and tyres, as evidenced by the recurring advisories for perishing sidewalls. A buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of all tyres for sidewall cracking and flat spotting, as the record shows the owner has repeatedly ignored perishing issues. The 2022 advisory regarding a nearside front tyre worn on the edge suggests a potential alignment issue or worn suspension components that should be verified. Given the low mileage, the buyer must also check the brake discs for surface corrosion or pitting, which are common in vehicles that sit stationary for extended periods.
