2019 Toyota Aygo 1.0L Petrol · GY69 EVF

The 2019 Toyota Aygo presents a stable and improving maintenance picture as of its most recent MOT on 13 December 2025, where it passed with zero defects recorded at 40,308 miles. That clean sheet is significant because it follows a pattern of recurring front brake and suspension advisories that were actively addressed by the previous keeper. The vehicle has not failed a test since December 2024, and the absence of any new advisories in the latest two consecutive tests suggests the car has been properly maintained rather than merely patched through annual inspections. The mileage profile tells a clear story of low, consistent use. Between the December 2022 test at 16,502 miles and the December 2024 test at 31,578 miles, the car covered roughly 15,000 miles in two years, averaging around 7,500 miles annually during that period. However, the jump from 31,578 miles in December 2024 to 40,308 miles by December 2025 represents a notable acceleration to nearly 9,000 miles in a single year. That is still well within normal range for a city car but marks a shift from the earlier pattern of roughly 5,000 miles per year seen between 2022 and 2024. The overall annual average of approximately 5,758 miles across the vehicle's life remains low for a seven-year-old car, which typically reduces wear on drivetrain and structural components but can raise questions about long periods of standing if the mileage were clustered rather than evenly distributed. The December 2024 failure and the December 2023 advisory both centred on the front braking system, with worn pads triggering a failure and worn discs flagged as advisory in consecutive years. A buyer should physically inspect the front brake discs for scoring and lipping and check pad thickness to confirm whether the components flagged in 2023 and 2024 have been replaced or merely worn in further. The nearside front shock absorber was noted as having a light oil misting in December 2023, a condition that can progress to full failure if the seal degrades. Have the front suspension checked for damping effectiveness and any visible oil residue. The slightly distorted nearside front wheel rim flagged in 2023 also warrants a spin-check for lateral run-out, as an unrepaired buckle can cause uneven tyre wear and vibration at speed. Tyre condition appeared on the 2023 advisory as well, so verify current tread depth and sidewall condition across all four corners, including the spare if fitted.
