2020 Toyota Aygo 1.0L Petrol · LS20 HTT

The vehicle remains roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a persistent and unresolved suspension issue. The most recent test in April 2026 at 34,853 miles resulted in a pass despite a light misting of oil on the nearside front shock absorber. This specific fault has appeared in every MOT record since 2023 at 10,770 miles, indicating a stable but ongoing degradation that has not yet reached the point of failure. The mileage profile is consistently low for a six-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,800 miles per year. There was a significant jump in usage between May 2023 and May 2024, where the car covered over 9,000 miles in twelve months, but the rate has since slowed again, with only 5,912 miles recorded in the final thirteen-month period. This low annual mileage generally suggests less wear on the drivetrain and engine, though it can sometimes mask age in rubber components. A buyer should prioritise inspecting the front suspension during a physical evaluation, as the shock absorber misting has persisted for three years and suggests the seals are failing. While the absorbers currently passed inspection, the 2025 advisory regarding pitted and scored front brake discs indicates that the braking system is reaching the end of its effective life. Additionally, the nearside front road wheel noted as slightly distorted in 2025 should be checked for vibrations or to ensure the distortion has not caused uneven tyre wear.
