2015 Toyota Aygo 1.0L Petrol · GD64 WDC

The most recent DVSA MOT test for this 2015 Toyota Aygo was conducted on 6 December 2025 and resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This clean outcome is consistent with the previous three tests from December 2023, December 2024, and the pass recorded on 16 December 2022, all of which were also completed without any advisories. The single failure documented on the same date in December 2022 carries no recorded defect details, but it was followed immediately by a pass, suggesting the issue was rectified promptly. Overall, the maintenance trend is stable and reassuring, with four consecutive clean tests indicating that the vehicle has been kept in good roadworthy condition and has not displayed any recurring wear-related issues that typically appear on older cars of this type. The recorded mileage of 72,264 miles over approximately 11 years equates to an annual usage of around 6,569 miles, which is broadly typical for a small city car of this age. There are no significant gaps in the recorded mileage progression between the MOT tests, suggesting the vehicle has been used consistently rather than left standing for prolonged periods, which is generally favourable for mechanical components such as brakes, tyres, and the drivetrain. That said, the relatively modest annual mileage means that some age-related degradation may still be present, particularly on items that deteriorate with calendar age rather than use. A buyer should not be lulled into a false sense of security purely by the low average, as standing-related issues and rubber or fluid degradation can develop independently of distance travelled. Given the clean MOT record and the vehicle's age, physical inspection should focus on time-related wear items that the MOT examination does not necessarily assess in depth. The tyres should be examined closely for sidewall perishing or cracking, which is common on cars kept outdoors and can occur even when the tread depth remains above the legal minimum. The 12-volt battery is well within the typical replacement window for an eleven-year-old vehicle, so its state of charge and ability to hold voltage under load should be verified. Brake discs, particularly those at the rear, may show corrosion or lipping from standing or light use, and the caliper slide pins and mechanisms should be checked for binding, which can cause uneven pad wear or dragging. Coolant, brake fluid, and gearbox oil should all be considered due for replacement on age rather than mileage grounds, and the service book or digital service history should be reviewed to confirm these have been addressed at the recommended intervals. On a test drive, listen for any suspension knocks or clonks over uneven surfaces, which would suggest worn bushes, drop links, or top mount deterioration common to vehicles of this age and mileage. The steering should be checked for clonking or vague response, particularly at full lock, indicating worn tie bar ends or steering rack wear. The clutch should be tested for smooth engagement and consistent bite point, while the manual gearbox should be confirmed to select all gears cleanly without crunching. Pay attention to any brake shudder under firm application, which could indicate disc warping, and watch for any warning lights on the instrument cluster, particularly the engine management light, which on Aygo models of this era can relate to ignition coil or lambda sensor issues. A final check underneath the vehicle for any fluid leaks from the engine, gearbox, or cooling system, combined with a thorough inspection of the underbody and wheel arches for any corrosion, would complete a sensible pre-purchase evaluation.
