2011 Toyota Aygo 1.0L Petrol · GU11 WFV

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance trend shows a shift toward reactive rather than proactive care. The most recent test in June 2026 at 77,625 miles resulted in a pass despite an inoperative indicator telltale and both front tyres reaching the legal limit with uneven wear. This contrasts with the clean record from June 2025, suggesting that basic consumable items and safety-critical bulbs are only being addressed when they approach a failure threshold. The mileage profile is characteristically low for a fifteen-year-old Toyota, averaging approximately 5,175 miles per year. There is a significant gap in usage between February 2024 and February 2025, where the car covered only 7,34 miles, followed by a more active period of 8,597 miles in the final sixteen months leading up to the June 2026 test. While low mileage preserves the drivetrain, it often leads to degradation of rubber components and brake seizing, which is evident in the recorded mechanical faults. A buyer must prioritise the structural integrity of the rear inner sills, as the 2024 test identified corrosion within 30cm of the rear axle mounting points. Although not an immediate failure point at that time, rust on these models tends to progress rapidly if not treated. Additionally, the recurring front anti-roll bar linkage issues noted in early 2025 indicate the suspension components are reaching the end of their functional life. A physical check for play in these bushes is essential. The binding nearside rear brake recorded in February 2025 warrants a thorough inspection of the caliper sliders and piston to ensure they have not seized. The uneven wear observed on the front tyres in the 2026 test also suggests an alignment issue or worn shock absorbers that require investigation to prevent premature replacement of new rubber. Given the cloudy headlamp lenses noted in 2025, verify that the light output is sufficient and the lenses have been restored or replaced.
