2011 Toyota Aygo 1.0L Petrol · LB60 UBU

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history indicates a reactive rather than proactive approach to repairs. While it passed the most recent test in December 2025 at 80,898 miles, it failed that same day initially due to a non-functional horn, thin front brake pads, and perished rear tyres. This pattern suggests that the owner only addresses mechanical faults once they result in an MOT failure, rather than performing routine preventative maintenance between annual inspections. The mileage profile is notably low for a 14-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,400 miles per year. There is a significant gap of over 11,000 miles between November 2023 and December 2024, followed by another 14,000 miles in one year. While low annual mileage typically preserves engine components, it often allows rubber-based parts to degrade, as evidenced by the cracking and perishing of the rear tyres in the latest test despite low distance travelled. A physical inspection must focus on the condition of the suspension and braking system, as the record shows a previously worn offside front anti-roll bar linkage in 2023. The failure regarding exhaust emissions in late 2024 at 77,275 miles indicates potential lambda sensor issues or fuel mixture irregularities, which should be monitored to ensure efficiency remains stable. The buyer should also verify the windscreen washer system and horn operation, as these have been recurring points of minor failure, highlighting a lack of basic functional safety checks.
