2017 Toyota Aygo 1.0L Petrol · GU17 LWX

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a pass on February 24, 2026, but the maintenance trend shows a recent shift toward reactive repairs. While the car maintained clean records between 2024 and 2025, the most recent test revealed a failure due to suspension wear and tyre degradation. This indicates that while the vehicle has been well-maintained historically, certain components are now reaching the end of their functional life despite the low annual mileage. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,124 miles per year. The data shows consistent usage, moving from 20,930 miles in February 2023 to 28,118 miles in February 2026. This low mileage typically suggests less wear on the engine and drivetrain, but it often leads to age-related deterioration of rubber components. The tester noted this in the 2026 test where rear tyres were perishing due to time rather than tread depth. A buyer must inspect the front suspension specifically, as the anti-roll bar linkages have been flagged for wear since 2023 and caused a failure in 2026. The recurring nature of these faults suggests the rubber bushes are drying out from age and low use cycles. Additionally, the rear tyres should be checked for deep sidewall cracking, as the February 2026 failure confirmed they were perishing despite the low mileage. Checking the brakes for corrosion is also advisable, as low-mileage vehicles often suffer from surface rust on discs when left stationary for extended periods.
