2012 Toyota Aygo 1.0L Petrol · LR62 VTJ

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status following a clean pass on January 31, 2026 at 117,050 miles. This represents an improving trend in maintenance, as the owner has successfully addressed recurring mechanical and safety failures from previous tests. While the history shows a pattern of reactive repairs, the most recent inspection indicates no current defects, suggesting the immediate issues regarding the exhaust system and braking components have been rectified. At 117,050 miles over 14 years, the Toyota Aygo averages approximately 8,360 miles per annum, which aligns with typical UK usage figures for a small city car. The data shows consistent use between tests, with 3,960 miles covered between March 2024 and February 2025, and another 2,100 miles leading into the 2026 test. This steady mileage suggests the vehicle has not suffered from long periods of stagnation, which often leads to perished seals or seized brake components despite low odometer readings. A physical inspection should focus on the recurring wear patterns identified in the MOT record. The 2024 and 2025 tests repeatedly flagged tyres reaching the legal limit and showing uneven edge wear, which may indicate persistent alignment issues or worn suspension bushes. The buyer should verify the current brake condition for signs of uneven wear, as the front pads were previously critically thin in 2024. Additionally, the non-excessive oil leak noted in 2024 warrants monitoring to ensure it remains a minor seepage and has not developed into a significant leak that could compromise engine health.
