2007 Toyota Aygo 1.0L Petrol · GR07 FKF

The 2007 Toyota Aygo failed its latest MOT on 30 August 2024 at 135,710 miles, confirming a deteriorating maintenance record. Repeated brake pad wear, persistent suspension play, and recurring tyre edge wear indicate a worsening trend rather than improvement. Over the 19‑year lifespan the mileage has risen from 88,896 miles in July 2014 to 135,710 miles in August 2024, averaging about 7,143 miles per year, which aligns with typical usage for a vehicle of this age. The interval between the 2020‑02‑13 test at 130,760 miles and the 2021‑02‑11 test at 131,388 miles shows only 628 miles in a year, suggesting a period of low use, while the 2022‑08‑08 to 2022‑08‑10 interval recorded just two miles, indicating possible short‑term storage. Recurring issues centre on the front suspension – ball‑joint dust covers have deteriorated repeatedly, and the off‑side front brake binding was noted in 2019 and again in 2024, while the front brake pads have been below the 1.5 mm limit since the 2024 test. Structural concerns include corrosion of the rear sub‑frame and damage to the off‑side outer sill, both flagged in 2024, and persistent tyre wear on the inner edge that points to alignment or suspension problems. A buyer should therefore examine the condition of the front suspension bushes and ball joints, verify the thickness of the brake discs and pads, inspect the tyre tread and sidewall for uneven wear, check for rust on the sill and sub‑frame, and confirm that the exhaust system is sealed and the brakes operate without binding.
