2017 Toyota Aygo 1.0L Petrol · FP67 LLA

The most recent MOT test passed on 13 August 2026, however, the inspection resulted in multiple advisories concerning tyre condition, marking a shift from the clean records observed in 2023 and 2024. While the vehicle maintains a consistent passing record without major structural or mechanical failures, the current maintenance trend shows an immediate need for consumable replacement. The transition from no defects to several tyre-related advisories suggests that while the core mechanical components remain roadworthy, the vehicle is entering a phase where age-related wear on rubber components requires attention. With 59,991 miles recorded over approximately nine years, the vehicle has covered an average of roughly 6,666 miles per annum. This represents relatively low annual usage, which is common for a small city car. While this lower mileage typically means less stress on the engine and transmission, it can lead to secondary issues such as tyre perishing from UV exposure or brake components seizing due to infrequent use. The mileage accumulation appears steady and consistent with the vehicle's age, suggesting it has not been subject to extreme heavy-duty use or long periods of total inactivity. A prospective buyer should prioritise a thorough inspection of the tyres. The advisories regarding cracking and perishing on the rear tyres, combined with edge wear on the nearside front, indicate that the rubber is likely reaching the end of its serviceable life due to age. During a test drive, listen for any uneven road noise or rhythmic vibrations that could signify tyre deformation. You should also check the tread depth and inspect the sidewalls for deep fissures. Because the nearside front tyre is wearing on the edge, it is essential to have the wheel alignment, or tracking, checked by a professional to ensure that suspension components like the tie rods or wishbones are not causing premature wear. Regarding the braking system, although the advisories for thin pads and worn discs from 2021 appear to have been addressed, you should remain cautious. Test the brakes for any shuddering through the pedal or steering wheel, which may indicate warped discs, or any pulling to one side, which could suggest binding calipers. Given the low annual mileage, also inspect the vehicle for any signs of corrosion on the exhaust system and ensure that time-sensitive maintenance, such as brake fluid changes and coolant refreshes, has been performed according to the service schedule rather than just by mileage.
