2014 Toyota Aygo 1.0L Petrol · GU64 HWS

This Toyota Aygo has maintained a consistent MOT pass record over the past five annual tests, with no defects or advisories recorded in any of the examinations conducted between October 2021 and October 2025. The most recent test, on 22 October 2025 at 58,452 miles, confirms the vehicle remains roadworthy under current DVSA standards, though it is now due for its next MOT on 21 October 2026—just three months from today. The absence of recurring issues suggests the vehicle has been subject to regular, if not rigorous, maintenance, though the lack of advisories does not preclude hidden wear in components like suspension bushes or drivetrain seals that would not be visible without a thorough mechanical inspection. The recorded mileage of 58,452 miles over approximately 12 years—roughly 4,871 miles annually—indicates light usage, which is unusual for a vehicle of this age. The incremental mileage increases between tests (around 1,200 miles per year) imply the car has likely been stored or driven sparingly, potentially reducing wear on high-mileage components such as tyres, brakes, and suspension. However, prolonged periods of inactivity can also lead to stagnant fluids, degraded seals, or corrosion in underbody areas, particularly if the vehicle was not protected from the elements. The uniformity of mileage suggests no sudden spikes in usage, which might have accelerated wear. Given the clean MOT history, the primary focus for an in-person inspection should centre on components that degrade predictably over time or are susceptible to neglect in low-mileage vehicles. The suspension—particularly the coil springs, bushes, and shock absorbers—should be examined for uneven wear, fluid leaks, or binding, as these are common points of failure in vehicles of this age. Brake discs and calipers should be checked for thickness, corrosion, and smooth operation, as even light use can lead to surface pitting or warping if maintenance has been inconsistent. Additionally, the underbody should be scrutinised for corrosion, especially around the wheel arches, sills, and exhaust system, as rust can compromise structural integrity without immediately affecting drivability. Finally, the battery, fluids (brake, coolant, power steering), and tyre tread depth should be verified, as these are often overlooked in low-mileage cars but critical for safe operation.
