2014 Toyota Aygo 1.0L Petrol · GX64 LCM

A history of intermittent minor defects and recent clean results defines this vehicle's roadworthiness profile, with the most recent MOT pass on 20 October 2025 showing no recorded defects. While the record includes a failure in 2023 regarding windscreen washer fluid and headlamp aim issues in 2021, the trend has moved toward a clean status over the last two testing cycles. The 2023 inspection specifically highlighted uneven tyre wear on both the nearside front and offside front, which resulted in an initial failure before a subsequent pass was achieved. The recorded mileage of 77,042 miles over a twelve-year period equates to an average annual accumulation of approximately 6,420 miles. This usage pattern is consistent with typical low-to-mid-range urban driving for a vehicle of this age. Mechanically, this level of mileage suggests that while major drivetrain components may not have reached high-wear thresholds, consumables such as tyres, brake pads, and suspension bushes will have undergone regular cycles of use. The steady mileage accumulation indicates the vehicle has been in regular use rather than sitting stationary for extended periods, which helps mitigate risks associated with long-term inactivity. Prospective buyers should pay particular attention to the tyre wear patterns noted in the 2023 advisory, as uneven wear on the outer or inner edges of the front tyres often points to underlying suspension or steering geometry issues. During a test drive, it is essential to monitor for any steering pull to one side or a wandering sensation at cruising speeds, which could indicate misaligned tracking or worn suspension bushes and tie-rod ends. Additionally, the recurring mentions of weak or insufficient washer jets in 2020 and 2023 suggest that the washer pump or jet nozzles should be checked for functionality and blockage to ensure clear visibility. Beyond the specific components flagged, the lack of recent advisories regarding structural integrity or braking systems is a notable aspect of the record. However, given the history of tyre wear, a physical inspection of the front suspension components, including coil springs and shock absorbers, is advised to ensure there are no irregular knocks or clunks when navigating uneven surfaces. Ensuring the headlamp aim is correctly calibrated, following the 2021 failure, is also a necessary check to confirm that the lighting system is performing within legal parameters for night driving.
