2017 Toyota Aygo 1.0L Petrol · FX67 YNU

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a pattern of reactive repairs rather than preventative care. The most recent test in October 2025 at 29,636 miles resulted in a pass after an initial failure involving a binding nearside front brake, worn front suspension arm bushes, and worn anti-roll bar linkages. This indicates that while mechanical faults are being addressed to meet the MOT standard, the owner allows components to deteriorate until they reach a failure point. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,300 miles per year. Between October 2023 at 18,571 miles and October 2024 at 25,376 miles, the car covered 6,805 miles. This low usage frequency suggests the vehicle has sat stationary for extended periods, which often leads to the degradation of rubber components. The 2023 failure specifically highlighted perishing rear tyres with exposed cords, a common symptom of low-mileage vehicles where age outpaces wear. A buyer must inspect the front suspension assembly thoroughly, as the suspension arm bushes and anti-roll bar linkages have already demonstrated as points of failure. The recurring issue with the nearside front brake binding in 2025 suggests a sticking caliper piston or slider pins that should be monitored for uneven pad wear. Given the 2024 failure for pitted front brake discs and thin pads, the entire braking system should be checked for corrosion caused by low-frequency use. Additionally, verify the sidewalls of all tyres for dry-rot, as the history proves the vehicle is prone to age-related rubber degradation despite the low mileage.
