2006 Toyota Aygo 1.0L Petrol · GL56 AGV

The vehicle passed the November 2021 MOT at 98,062 miles, yet the tester flagged a severely deteriorated offside front lower suspension arm ball joint dust cover, a nearside rear nail in tyre, slightly distorted wheels on all corners, and a nearside rear brake pipe slightly damaged, indicating the car is currently roadworthy but shows clear signs of neglect in suspension and braking components. From the 2011 failure at 55,731 miles to the 2021 pass at 98,062 miles, the odometer rose by 42,331 miles over ten years, averaging 4,233 miles annually, while the 2009 test recorded 30,121 miles and the 2010 test showed 44,898 miles, indicating a jump of 14,777 miles in a single year; between 2014 and 2016 the mileage increased by roughly 5,000 miles each year, and from 2017 to 2021 the rise slowed to about 2,500 miles per year, suggesting periods of limited use that may have contributed to component fatigue. A buyer should inspect the suspension arms, bushes and mounting points for wear or corrosion, verify that the ball joint locking device is present and functional, and examine the rear hydraulic cylinder and brake drums for leaks or binding; the repeated tyre wear indicators and wheel distortions demand a check of tyre condition, wheel alignment and structural integrity of the wheel arches, while the earlier registration lamp failure and near‑limit tyre wear hint at possible chassis rust that requires a thorough visual inspection of the underbody and suspension attachment areas.
