2016 Toyota Aygo 1.0L Petrol · LD16 OFY

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance trend shows a clear shift toward deferred upkeep. While it passed the latest test in October 2025 at 20,466 miles, the tester flagged multiple advisories that were absent in previous years. The presence of thin front brake pads, pitted and scored brake discs, and an offside front tyre reaching the legal limit indicates that the transition from preventative maintenance to reactive repair is beginning at this current interval. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 2,000 miles per year. The data shows consistent usage between 2021 and 2025, where the car covered roughly 7,000 miles over four years. The jump of 1,683 miles between the 2024 and 2025 tests is consistent with this history, but the overall low mileage suggests the vehicle may have sat for long periods between uses, which can lead to the degradation of rubber components and brake corrosion despite low mechanical wear. A buyer must prioritize inspecting the front braking system during a physical evaluation. The record shows thinning pads were noted in 2024, followed by worn discs in 2025, suggesting the pads were not replaced when they began to damage the rotors. The discoloured headlamps mentioned in the most recent test also require attention, as deteriorating light output will eventually fail the next MOT and affects visibility during night driving. Given the low mileage, the inspector should also check for flat spots on the tyres and seized brake calipers, which are common issues for Toyotas caused by long periods of inactivity.
