2013 Toyota Aygo 1.0L Petrol · GY62 AVW

A recurring theme across the MOT history is tyre tread approaching the legal minimum, with the nearside front, off‑side front and off‑side rear tyres repeatedly flagged for edge wear and, on two occasions, for perishing. The latest test on 28 January 2026 recorded the same tyre advisories but otherwise passed, while the only recorded failure was an off‑side stop‑lamp fault in February 2024 that was rectified for the subsequent pass. Apart from a single suspension arm pin/bush advisory in 2024, the record shows no major defects, indicating a generally stable roadworthiness profile aside from tyre wear. With 28 123 mi logged over a thirteen‑year life the vehicle averages roughly 2 200 mi per year, a mileage level well below typical usage for a 2013 model. The annual testing cadence has been consistent, showing no prolonged gaps that would suggest periods of inactivity or storage. Low cumulative mileage generally reduces wear on engine, transmission and brake components, but the persistent tyre wear suggests that the tyres have either been subject to uneven loading, possible under‑inflation, or have simply aged beyond their useful life despite the low mileage. Prospective buyers should inspect all four tyres closely for tread depth, sidewall integrity and any signs of cracking or perishing, particularly the off‑side rear which has been noted as slightly damaged. A test‑drive should include a careful listen for knocking or clunking over bumps that could indicate the previously noted suspension arm pin or bush wear, and a check for any steering pull or excessive play. Verify that all external lamps operate correctly, especially the stop lamps, and confirm that the windscreen wiper blades clear the glass effectively, as a defective blade was recorded in 2021. Given the tyre advisories, budgeting for a full set of tyres is advisable, and a mechanic should assess the condition of the front suspension arm bush and rear suspension bushes for any progression beyond advisory status. Confirm that brakes feel firm and free from judder, and that there are no new leaks or noises that were not captured in the MOT record. A thorough pre‑purchase inspection addressing these specific points will clarify whether the vehicle’s low mileage translates into overall mechanical confidence.
