2013 Toyota Aygo 1.0L Petrol · KM63 RHX

The vehicle's overall roadworthiness status is currently unsafe, as the most recent MOT test in October 2025 at 59,990 miles was passed but reveals significant deterioration in the rear suspension and braking components. The maintenance trend is not stable, worsening, or improving; rather, it is deteriorating, with the most recent failure occurring in October 2022 at 42,985 miles. This deterioration is driven by a series of recurring faults including worn brake pads, thin brake discs, exposed tire cords, and light oil misting in shock absorbers. The test dates are chronologically ordered, showing a clear progression from a passing test in October 2025 down to a failed test in October 2022, indicating that the mechanical condition has worsened over the past four years. The mileage pattern suggests that the vehicle has experienced rapid accumulation of wear, particularly in the rear suspension and drivetrain, which is consistent with a low-mileage vehicle aged over thirteen years. The most recent test at 59,990 miles was passed, but the mileage gap between the October 2025 test and the October 2022 failure creates a gap of nearly two years of inactivity, during which the vehicle likely received no routine maintenance. This gap allows the wear on brake discs, suspension bushings, and tyre wear to accumulate, turning a previously passing test into a failed one. The vehicle's history indicates a lack of basic upkeep, as the most recent MOT was obtained shortly after the last failure in October 2022, suggesting that the owner may have been absent or that the vehicle was left in storage without inspection. A buyer should inspect the vehicle in person to identify the specific structural and mechanical risks highlighted by the MOT record. The primary concerns are the rear suspension bushings, brake discs, and brake pads, which may require replacement or adjustment. Additionally, the exposed tire cords and splines on the rear tyres indicate that the tyre wear has progressed beyond acceptable limits, necessitating tyre replacement. The oil misting in the shock absorbers suggests that the suspension components may need to be inspected for corrosion or internal wear. Given the recurring nature of these faults, the vehicle is not safe to drive without immediate professional intervention, as the wear on these components is likely to continue and potentially lead to a total failure.
