2009 Toyota Aygo 1.0L Petrol · LL59 EPN

A recurring pattern of suspension wear and tyre degradation defines the mechanical history of this vehicle, with the most recent pass on 5 January 2026 highlighting worn front anti-roll bar linkages and lower suspension arm bushes. This follows a major failure in early 2025 for the same anti-roll bar components, suggesting a trend of accelerating wear in the front-end geometry. The record also shows a history of tyre neglect, including a dangerous failure for tread depth in 2024 and current advisories indicating all four tyres are now close to the legal limit. With 81,520 miles recorded over 17 years, the vehicle has averaged roughly 4,795 miles per year. This low annual accumulation indicates lighter overall use, yet the frequency of suspension and tyre-related defects suggests the vehicle may have been subjected to the stresses of short-distance urban driving, which often accelerates the wear of rubber bushings and tyre edges. Prospective buyers should prioritize the current state of the front suspension. The 2026 advisories for both front lower suspension arm bushes and anti-roll bar links, combined with the previous major failure for the same parts, indicate a need for immediate inspection. During a test drive, listen for knocking or clunking sounds when traversing speed bumps or uneven road surfaces, and feel for any vagueness or instability in the steering. Attention must also be paid to the tyres and the braking system. Given the 2026 advisory regarding the tread depth of all four tyres and the 2024 dangerous failure, immediate replacement is likely required. Furthermore, a 2021 advisory regarding a binding nearside rear brake suggests a potential issue with the caliper or drum mechanism. Check for uneven tyre wear and ensure the vehicle does not pull to one side under braking, while verifying that the rear brakes are not overheating after a sustained drive.
