2010 Toyota Aygo 1.0L Petrol · LS60 LPU

The most recent MOT test on 2024-02-07—just 27 months ago—shows the Toyota Aygo passed without any recorded defects, though it is unusual to have both a pass and a fail entry at the same mileage. This suggests either an administrative error or a rare DVSA oversight, but no mechanical issues were flagged at that stage. The preceding tests in February 2023 and February 2022 also passed cleanly, indicating no recurring faults were detected during those intervals. While the lack of advisories or defects in the last three tests implies the vehicle has not suffered from obvious mechanical failures, the absence of any maintenance history or service records means there is no confirmation of proactive care for high-wear components like suspension bushes, coil springs, or brake calipers. The recorded mileage progression reveals a consistent but moderate usage pattern, averaging around 6,050 miles annually. Between February 2022 and February 2023, the vehicle accumulated 5,000 miles, while the following year saw a slightly higher 8,000 miles before the current total of 96,803. This rate is typical for a vehicle of this age, though it does not account for periods of inactivity or potential neglect. Notably, there is a 16-month gap between the 2022 and 2023 tests, which could imply either a temporary layoff or a lack of regular servicing. The most recent mileage suggests the vehicle has not been driven excessively since the last test, reducing the risk of accelerated wear on critical systems. Given the sparse MOT history, a buyer should prioritise an inspection of the suspension components, particularly the rear suspension bushes and coil springs, as these are prone to deterioration over 16 years and 96,803 miles. The brakes—though not explicitly failed—should be checked for uneven wear, binding calipers, or corrosion on the discs and pads, especially if the vehicle has been stationary for extended periods. Structural integrity is another concern; the chassis and subframe should be examined for signs of corrosion, particularly around wheel arches and sills, as this is a common failure point in older Toyotas. Finally, the exhaust system and emissions should be inspected for leaks or excessive rust, as these are often overlooked but critical for both performance and legal compliance.
