2006 Toyota Aygo 1.0L Petrol · FV06 YMD

This 2006 Toyota Aygo has a very low mileage of 33,024 miles, averaging roughly 1,651 miles per year. While low mileage often suggests less mechanical wear on the engine and drivetrain, it can also imply the vehicle has spent long periods standing still. In this case, the history suggests that inactivity may be contributing to age-related degradation. The most recent MOT from September 2025 shows a pass, but highlights that the front tyres are worn close to the legal limit or worn on the edges, and one rear tyre has a cut. While the tyre issues are consumable items, the underlying mechanical trend is concerning. There is a clear and recurring pattern of corrosion and age-related deterioration. Since 2022, the vehicle has consistently flagged corroded rear coil springs and pitted front brake discs. The 2024 MOT was particularly heavy on advisories, noting corrosion on the front subframe, the rear axle, the exhaust mounting, and the shock absorber casings. The vehicle's condition trend appears to be worsening. We have moved from simple brake and spring issues in 2022 and 2023 to more structural corrosion concerns on the subframe and axle in 2024.
