2016 Toyota Aygo 1.0L Petrol · GV65 ABO

The vehicle presents a stable maintenance profile with a clean MOT result in the most recent January 2026 test at 46,722 miles. While the vehicle failed that specific test due to a non-functional nearside rear direction indicator, the subsequent pass indicates this minor electrical issue was rectified. The absence of advisories in the last two consecutive tests suggests the vehicle has moved past previous minor mechanical concerns. The mileage history shows a consistent, low-use pattern, averaging approximately 4,600 miles per year. The vehicle recorded 24,146 miles in January 2020 and has climbed to 46,722 miles by January 2026. This low annual mileage is typical for a city car but can sometimes lead to component stagnation. The steady progression of mileage between tests, such as the 2,642 miles covered between the January 2025 and January 2026 tests, indicates regular, predictable use rather than long periods of inactivity. Historical data reveals a trend of neglected consumable maintenance, particularly regarding tyres. The tester flagged multiple tyre failures in 2019, 2020, 2022, and 2023, often citing tyres worn close to the legal limit or structural bulges. This suggests previous owners occasionally deferred basic upkeep. A buyer should inspect the current tread depth and sidewall integrity of all four tyres to ensure this pattern has been corrected. Mechanical attention should also be directed toward the suspension and braking systems. The January 2024 test at 40,973 miles identified light oil misting on the nearside front shock absorber. Although the vehicle passed subsequent tests, a physical inspection of the dampers is necessary to check for active leaks or compromised damping. Additionally, the 2021 report noted thin brake pads and pitted front discs. While these were cleared in later tests, checking the remaining pad thickness and the surface condition of the discs remains a prudent step.
