2014 Toyota Aygo 1.0L Petrol · KE14 XUC

Recurring issues with tyre condition and brake component wear define the recent mechanical profile of this vehicle, following a period of several years with no recorded defects. While the car passed its most recent test on 13 July 2026, the record shows a transition from a clean history into a series of advisories and a major failure regarding tyre integrity in late 2024. The most recent advisory specifically notes that both front inner brake discs are worn, indicating that the braking system is beginning to show signs of consumable wear that will require attention in the near future. The vehicle has covered 74,398 miles over its twelve-year lifespan, which equates to an average annual accumulation of approximately 6,200 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 the drivetrain and engine components may not have been subjected to extreme high-speed motorway stress, the vehicle has likely experienced frequent stop-start cycles and short journeys, which often correlates with the wear seen on consumables like tyres and brake discs. A prospective buyer should pay close attention to the tyre and braking history during a physical inspection and test drive. The 2024 failure for a cut in the offside rear tyre, combined with multiple advisories for cracking, perishing, and edge wear across various tyres, suggests that the rubber components are reaching the end of their serviceable life. On a test drive, listen for any rhythmic thumping or uneven road noise that could indicate irregular tyre wear or bulges, and check for any pulling to one side which might suggest alignment issues following the previous tyre replacements. Regarding the braking system, the advisory for worn front inner brake discs from the July 2026 test warrants a thorough check. During the test drive, pay close attention to the brake pedal feel; any judder or vibration through the pedal when applying pressure at speed could indicate that the discs are becoming uneven or warped. Additionally, listen for any squealing or grinding noises during low-speed braking, which would confirm that the friction material is thinning or that the disc surface has become excessively pitted or worn.
