2006 Toyota Aygo 1.0L Petrol · LR06 VDE

This Toyota Aygo has maintained a consistent MOT pass record over the past five tests, with the most recent inspection on 14 December 2025 at 90,895 miles resulting in no defects. The absence of advisories or failures across all tests suggests the vehicle has not experienced recurring mechanical issues that would warrant concern. However, the record’s silence does not preclude hidden wear—particularly in high-mileage components like suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake calipers—which are common failure points in vehicles of this age and mileage. The lack of emissions-related failures is notable, indicating either a well-maintained engine management system or a vehicle that has not been driven under conditions that would stress exhaust compliance. The recorded mileage of 90,895 miles over approximately 20 years aligns with a conservative usage pattern, averaging around 4,545 miles annually. This is well below the typical UK annual average for a vehicle of this age, suggesting either limited daily use or prolonged periods of storage. The most striking anomaly is the duplicate entry for 12 December 2022, where both a pass and a failure are recorded at the same mileage—this appears to be an administrative error rather than a mechanical issue. Beyond that, the mileage progression is steady, with no abrupt jumps that would indicate aggressive driving or neglected maintenance. The longest gap between tests is between December 2023 and December 2024, covering 1,956 miles, which is within the standard 12-month MOT cycle but does not raise red flags. Given the vehicle’s age and mileage, a buyer should prioritise a thorough inspection of suspension components, particularly the rear suspension bushes and coil springs, which are prone to deterioration in this model. The absence of brake-related failures in the MOT history does not guarantee current condition—binding calipers, uneven wear, or corrosion on brake discs and drums should be checked, especially if the vehicle has been stored for extended periods. Structural integrity is another critical area; rust penetration in wheel arches, sills, and the subframe is common in this class of vehicle, and any visible corrosion could compromise safety. Finally, the engine bay should be examined for fluid leaks, worn hoses, and the condition of the battery and alternator, as these are often overlooked but can lead to sudden failures. The lack of advisories in the MOT history does not negate the need for these checks.
