2011 Toyota Aygo 1.0L Petrol · LS61 JXN

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend indicates a pattern of reactive rather than proactive upkeep. The most recent test in March 2025 at 87,038 miles resulted in a pass with an advisory for a perished nearside rear tyre. This follows a significant failure in March 2024 where the car failed multiple points related to lighting, wipers, and tyre legality. While the vehicle has cleared these immediate defects, the recurring nature of tyre issues suggests the owner only addresses consumables once they reach a failure threshold. At 87,038 miles over fifteen years, this Aygo sits significantly below the national average, averaging approximately 5,800 miles per year. The mileage accumulation is consistent, with roughly 6,000 miles driven between the March 2024 and March 2025 tests. This low mileage often preserves mechanical components like the drivetrain but can lead to the degradation of rubber materials. The 2025 advisory regarding a cracking tyre is a classic symptom of age-related dry rot caused by low use rather than high tread wear. A buyer must personally inspect the condition of all four tyres, as the history shows repeated failures in 2023 and 2024 for uneven wear and low tread. The 2023 advisory noting front tyres were worn on the edge points to a potential alignment issue or worn suspension bushes which should be checked during a test drive to prevent premature component wear. Since the MOT record does not flag structural corrosion or brake issues, the focus should remain on the underbody for hidden rust and ensuring the wiper blades and bulb assemblies have been properly replaced following the previous failures.
