2021 Toyota Aygo 1.0L Petrol · LB71 DGV

Front brake disc wear is the single mechanical flag on this 2021 Toyota Aygo's record, noted as an advisory on both sides at the December 2025 test, which the car passed. That advisory followed a completely clean pass in December 2024 with no defects recorded, so the overall trend is a short, stable history with one emerging wear item rather than any pattern of failures or recurring faults. With only two tests on file, the record is limited but contains nothing structural, no corrosion concerns, and no suspension or emissions issues. The usage profile is the more notable aspect of this car's history. At roughly 13,698 miles over five years, it has averaged around 2,740 miles annually, which is well below typical use. Low annual mileage on a small city car like the Aygo generally means less wear on the drivetrain, clutch, and suspension components, but it can also produce exactly the kind of finding seen here: brake discs that wear or corrode unevenly because the car sits for extended periods between short journeys. Light surface corrosion on discs is common on infrequently used vehicles and can accelerate pad and disc wear even at low mileages, which is consistent with the advisory recorded. On a test drive, the priority is the front braking system. Listen for any grinding, scraping, or squealing under braking, which would suggest the discs have deteriorated further since the advisory was issued, and feel for judder or pulsing through the brake pedal or steering wheel when braking from moderate speed, which can indicate disc thickness variation or warping. Check visually through the wheel spokes for heavy rust ridges or lipped edges on the disc faces, and ask whether the discs and pads have been replaced since the December 2025 test, as worn discs on both sides will eventually reach the point of failure rather than advisory. Beyond the brakes, the clean 2024 pass means there are no recorded defects to chase on suspension, steering, tyres, or structure, but a low-mileage car still warrants a basic check that it drives straight without pulling, that the gearchange is smooth, and that there are no knocks over uneven surfaces. Confirm the mileage shown on the odometer matches the recorded figure, and treat the brake advisory as a negotiating point: replacement front discs and pads on an Aygo are inexpensive, but the work should either be evidenced as done or reflected in the asking price.
