2012 Toyota Aygo 1.0L Petrol · LR62 VTF

Most recent MOT (15 Oct 2025) was a PASS at 32,669 mi, but it recorded wear on both front anti‑roll‑bar linkage pins/bushes. The same front anti‑roll‑bar items were flagged in the 2022 MOT, and the 2022 test also noted front brake discs that were worn, pitted or scored, though not yet weakened. The pattern shows recurring front‑suspension wear and earlier brake‑disc wear. Neither issue has escalated to a failure, and there are no new serious defects recorded in the last three years, suggesting the condition is stable rather than rapidly deteriorating. However, the repeated anti‑roll‑bar wear indicates that the suspension bushings may be approaching the end of their service life and could require replacement soon. At 32,669 mi for a 14‑year‑old Aygo the mileage is very low – roughly 2,300 mi per year. This could mean the car has been lightly driven, which generally reduces wear on drivetrain and engine components. Conversely, low annual mileage can also indicate long periods of inactivity, which can promote rust or corrosion in suspension and brake parts. The mileage alone does not confirm hard use, but it does suggest the major wear items are likely due to age rather than high mileage. For a buyer, the first checks should be: Inspect the front anti‑roll‑bar bushings and linkage pins for excessive play, corrosion or cracked rubber.
