2017 Toyota Aygo 1.0L Petrol · GL67 ODM

The 2017 Toyota Aygo presents a stable and improving roadworthiness profile, culminating in a clean pass on 5 December 2025 at 38,066 miles with zero defects recorded. That result marks a clear recovery from the single failure logged on 20 November 2024 at 30,272 miles, where the tester flagged a non-functioning horn under item 7.7(a). The horn defect was rectified before the same-day retest passed, indicating the previous owner addressed the fault promptly rather than allowing advisories or failures to accumulate. Across the five-year window from December 2022 through December 2025, every test produced a pass, and no recurring mechanical, structural, or emissions-related defects have appeared in the record. The mileage accumulation tells a consistent story of low annual use. Between the December 2022 test at 24,088 miles and the November 2024 test at 30,272 miles, the car covered roughly 6,184 miles across almost two full years, averaging around 3,200 miles annually in that period. From November 2024 to the December 2025 test, the odometer moved from 30,272 to 38,066 miles, a jump of 7,794 miles in just over thirteen months. That uptick suggests a change in ownership or usage pattern, possibly a new keeper putting more miles on the car. The overall lifetime average of approximately 4,230 miles per year remains well below typical figures for a nine-year-old city car, which generally points to reduced wear on consumables but warrants attention to components that deteriorate with age rather than mileage, such as rubber bushes, brake seals, and tyre sidewalls. Despite the clean MOT record, a prospective buyer should carry out a focused physical inspection. Low-mileage city cars often spend short trips and extended parked periods, conditions that can lead to brake disc surface corrosion, sticking calipers, and deteriorated tyre rubber even when tread depth remains legal. Examine the inner and outer edges of all four tyres for cracking or uneven wear, and check the brake discs for lipping or pitting that may not yet trigger a failure. Inspect the front and rear suspension bushes, coil springs, and shock absorbers for perishing or weeping, as rubber components age regardless of mileage. Given the vehicle's city-car role, look closely at the underside for corrosion on the exhaust system, subframe, and suspension mounting points, particularly if the car has been stored on salted roads. The horn fault from November 2024 was minor and resolved, but verifying that all electrical functions, including lights, indicators, and washer jets, operate correctly remains a sensible precaution.
