2010 Toyota Aygo 1.0L Petrol · LD60 AYY

The 2010 Toyota Aygo presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 6 May 2025 at 41,604 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the prior three annual tests from 2022 to 2024 also passed clean. The single failure on 27 May 2024 at 37,076 miles is anomalous: the DVSA entry shows no defects recorded, indicating an administrative or presentation fault rather than a mechanical defect. No advisories for corrosion, suspension bushes, brake discs, or exhaust emissions appear anywhere in the five-year record. The odometer shows 29,667 miles in May 2022, rising to 33,549 by May 2023, 37,076 by May 2024, and 41,604 by May 2025. That equates to roughly 3,900 miles per year, below the 2,600-mile annual average implied by the 16-year lifespan but consistent across the recorded period. Low yearly use over a long interval suggests the car spent extended periods stationary, which can allow tyres to perish, brake calipers to seize, and underbody corrosion to develop even where the test found nothing. The clean record gives no evidence of skipped consumable replacement or recurring wear trends. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection beneath the sills, subframe, and suspension mounting points, since MOT passes with no advisories do not rule out early structural rust on a 16-year-old vehicle. The tester noted no binding calipers or worn coil springs, yet standing time makes seized handbrake mechanisms and flat-spotted tyres plausible. Verify the actual condition of brake fluid, auxiliary belt, and wiper rubbers, as these fall outside the MOT scope but degrade with inactivity. Given the sparse and clean history, previous owners appear to have maintained basic statutory testing without neglect. The duplicated 27 May 2024 entry warrants a check of the V5C and DVSA portal to confirm no hidden defect was omitted. Absent any flagged fault, the Aygo stands as a low-risk purchase subject to the usual pre-sale mechanical appraisal.
