2016 Toyota Aygo 1.0L Petrol · LC66 PLO

The vehicle passed its most recent MOT on 13 June 2025 with no defects recorded. Reviewing the history back to 2022, the car has consistently passed its annual inspections without a single advisory or failure. This indicates an exceptionally stable maintenance trend and suggests a vehicle that has been kept in a condition that comfortably meets DVSA safety standards without requiring corrective mechanical work during its periodic testing. The recorded mileage of 8,293 miles over approximately ten years is exceptionally low, averaging roughly 829 miles per year. While such low mileage implies minimal mechanical wear on the engine internals, gearbox, and drivetrain, it strongly indicates that the vehicle has spent significant periods stationary. This usage profile can be more detrimental to certain components than regular driving, as rubber seals can dry out and essential fluids can degrade due to time rather than distance. Given the clean MOT record and infrequent use, the primary focus for a buyer should be age-related degradation rather than wear-and-tear. You must carefully inspect the tyre sidewalls for hairline cracking or perishing, as tyres often reach the end of their safe service life due to age before the tread is worn. Check the brake discs for heavy surface corrosion or pitting, and during the test drive, feel for any brake shudder or listen for binding calipers that may have developed during long periods of inactivity. The 12V battery health should also be verified, as infrequent use often leads to premature failure. Mechanical attention should be directed toward calendar-based maintenance rather than mileage intervals. Verify the service book to ensure that engine oil and filters have been changed annually, as oil degrades through oxidation even when the vehicle is not driven. Check the brake fluid for moisture contamination and inspect the coolant for clarity. Finally, examine the rubber suspension bushes and coil springs for signs of dryness or splitting, which can occur when the rubber components are not regularly flexed through normal road use.
