2008 Toyota Aygo 1.0L Petrol · GP57 AEY

The vehicle presents a high level of roadworthiness based on a consistent history of clean passes. The most recent test conducted on 14 May 2025 at 144,483 miles resulted in no defects or advisories, indicating a stable and diligent maintenance trend over the last five years. This lack of recorded failures suggests that the previous owners have proactively addressed mechanical and safety concerns before they could result in an MOT failure. The mileage accumulation is remarkably consistent for an 18-year-old vehicle. Between May 2021 and May 2025, the car covered 17,345 miles, averaging approximately 4,336 miles per year. This is significantly lower than the national average of 8,000 miles, suggesting the vehicle has seen light urban use rather than heavy long-distance commuting. The intervals between tests remain regular at annual intervals, confirming that the car has been used regularly, which helps prevent the degradation of components often associated with long periods of inactivity. While the MOT record is clean of faults, a buyer should still focus on specific age-related components during a physical inspection. Given the age of the Toyota Aygo, a close look at the structural integrity of the sills and wheel arches is necessary to check for surface corrosion that testers might not flag until it becomes structural. The buyer should also inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs for cracking, as rubber components can perish over time regardless of low mileage. Checking the brake discs for pitting and the caliper seals will ensure that the low usage has not led to seized components in the braking system.
