2007 Toyota Aygo 1.0L Petrol · LB57 LBY

A recurring pattern of tyre degradation and suspension component wear defines the mechanical history of this vehicle, with the most recent test on 06 June 2023 resulting in a pass despite advisories for a distorted nearside front road wheel and an inner edge worn tyre. The record shows a history of issues related to rubber components and tyres, including previous advisories for perished and cracked tyres, as well as deteriorated anti-roll bar linkage bushes. While the vehicle has passed its recent inspections, the presence of wheel distortion and uneven tyre wear suggests potential underlying issues with wheel alignment or suspension geometry that have appeared intermittently over the last several years. The recorded mileage of 37,173 miles over a nineteen-year period represents an unusually low annual average of approximately 1,956 miles. This low-intensity usage pattern can often lead to specific mechanical considerations, such as the recorded advisories for perished and cracking tyres seen in 2018 and 2019, which frequently occur when a vehicle spends extended periods stationary. While lower mileage generally implies less wear on the drivetrain and engine, it does not preclude the development of age-related issues in rubberised components, seals, and suspension bushings, as evidenced by the historical failures and advisories regarding anti-roll bar linkages and tyre structural integrity. Prospective buyers should pay close attention to the steering and suspension during a test drive, specifically looking for any pulling to one side or vibrations that could correlate with the previously noted nearside front wheel distortion and uneven tyre wear. Given the history of worn anti-roll bar linkage bushes and front brake disc wear, listen for any rhythmic knocking or clunking sounds when driving over uneven road surfaces or speed bumps, which may indicate further deterioration of the suspension linkages. Any steering wheel judder or unevenness in the pedal feel should also be investigated to ensure the braking system and wheel assemblies are stable. The 2020 failure involving structural tyre tears and non-functional lighting highlights the importance of a thorough visual inspection of all external lamps and the current condition of all four tyres. Ensure that the tyres do not show signs of sidewall cracking or uneven edge wear, particularly on the nearside front, which was flagged in the most recent advisory. Checking the integrity of the windscreen wipers and the clarity of the windscreen is also advisable, following the major failure recorded in early 2020, to ensure all visibility components are functioning effectively.
