2020 Toyota Aygo 1.0L Petrol · LD20 DZE

This 2020 Toyota Aygo presents a stable and improving mechanical picture as of its most recent MOT on 10 March 2026 at 35,176 miles, where it passed with only the TPMS warning lamp illuminated. The maintenance trend is clearly resolving. The 2024 test at 24,231 miles flagged four separate brake-related advisories, including worn and pitted front discs and thinning pads on both sides, plus a slightly distorted offside front wheel. None of these defects reappeared in the March 2026 pass, indicating the front braking system has likely been overhauled or replaced in the intervening two years. The TPMS light, however, has persisted across the 2025 and 2026 tests, suggesting an unresolved sensor fault or a slow puncture that the previous owner chose not to diagnose. The mileage profile is notably low for a six-year-old city car, averaging roughly 5,863 miles per year. The record shows a steady and consistent accumulation pattern: 19,165 miles in March 2023, 24,231 in March 2024, 28,721 in March 2025, and 35,176 in March 2026, representing increments of approximately 5,000 to 6,400 miles annually. There are no suspicious gaps or sudden jumps in the odometer, and the annual test dates align neatly with this gradual usage. Such low mileage typically reduces wear on drivetrain and suspension components, though prolonged periods of standing can cause its own issues, including flat-spotted tyres, seized brake calipers, and degraded rubber bushes. A buyer should still inspect the front brake components in person despite the clean 2026 pass. The 2024 advisories on pitted discs and thin pads were significant enough to suggest the braking system was under considerable stress, and verifying the quality of any replacement parts is prudent. The persistent TPMS fault warrants investigation, as it could indicate a failed sensor, damaged valve, or an actual slow puncture that triggers intermittently. The offside front wheel distortion flagged in 2024 should also be checked for any remaining buckle or crack, particularly if the replacement or repair was cosmetic rather than structural. Tyre condition deserves attention too, given the 2025 advisory on the offside front tyre worn close to the legal limit and on its edge, which can point to alignment or suspension geometry issues if the wear pattern has recurred.
