2014 Toyota Aygo 1.0L Petrol · LF14 AEA

The vehicle presents a consistent roadworthiness profile, with the most recent test in June 2026 at 32,536 miles passing with no recorded defects. This follows a period of stability since 2024, although a minor faulty hazard warning switch was noted in 2025. The history suggests a vehicle that is maintained reactively, as several recurring issues with the exhaust system and brakes appeared periodically. The lack of defects in the latest two tests indicates that the previous owner has addressed the mechanical concerns identified in earlier inspections. At 32,536 miles over twelve years, the car has covered exceptionally low mileage, averaging approximately 2,700 miles per year. This low usage often leads to age-related degradation rather than mechanical wear. The record confirms this, as multiple tests between 2019 and 2022 flagged perishing and cracking tyres, as well as perished and corroded valve stems. These issues are typical symptoms of a car that sits for long periods, where rubber components dry out without use. The braking system shows a history of neglected attention, particularly the front. Between 2019 and 2021, the tester repeatedly flagged thin pads and pitted or scored discs. A persistent offside rear binding brake was also identified in 2022 and 2023, suggesting a sticking caliper or wheel cylinder due to inactivity. The exhaust system also required significant attention, moving from a minor manifold leak in 2021 to a major manifold leak and noisy back box failure in 2022. While these appear to have been rectified, a buyer should verify the current condition of the exhaust manifold and ensure the rear brakes remain free of binding.
