2011 Toyota Aygo 1.0L Petrol · LS11 OJK

The most recent MOT on 2026-01-01 recorded a pass with several minor defects. These included front brake discs worn, pitted, or scored (but not seriously weakened), slight play in front track rod end ball joints , worn suspension arm pins or bushes , and rear underbody rust . None of these issues were classified as dangerous, but they indicate progressive wear in critical areas like braking and suspension. A review of the MOT history reveals a recurring pattern of minor but persistent faults . The 2025-01-03 MOT included defective windscreen wiper blades , damaged tyres , severely deteriorated sub-frame ball joint dust covers , and brake imbalance requiring adjustment. A later 2025-01-03 failure cited non-working headlamps, structural tyre damage, and similar suspension issues. These problems resurfaced in the 2026 MOT, suggesting ongoing maintenance needs rather than a single, isolated issue. The trend in defects appears stable rather than worsening. While some issues (e.g., brake imbalance, suspension wear) reoccurred, they were addressed in subsequent MOTs. However, the persistence of brake system deficiencies and suspension component degradation over multiple years raises concerns about long-term reliability.
