2018 Toyota Aygo 1.0L Petrol · LS68 NFM

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a trend of reactive rather than proactive care. The most recent test on September 11, 2025 at 40,748 miles resulted in a pass following several mechanical failures. While the car meets the minimum standard, the recurrence of faults related to suspension and rubber components suggests that parts are only being addressed once they reach an MOT failure threshold rather than being replaced during scheduled intervals. At eight years old, the recorded mileage of 40,748 miles is significantly below the national average, averaging approximately 5,100 miles per year. The mileage progression shows consistent usage, moving from 35,196 miles in August 2023 to 38,060 miles in August 2024, and finally to 40,748 miles in September 2025. However, low-mileage vehicles often suffer from the accelerated degradation of rubber components due to age rather than wear, which is evident in the recent findings. A buyer must conduct a close inspection of the front suspension geometry. The 2025 test flagged both the offside and nearside front suspension arm bushes as worn, and the 2024 failure noted deteriorated anti-roll bar bushes. These components are prone to drying out and cracking on low-mileage Toyotas. Additionally, the 2025 record identified perishing and cracking on both rear tyres, indicating that the rubber is reaching the end of its structural life due to age despite having sufficient tread depth. The electrical system, specifically the tyre pressure monitoring system, requires verification. This system caused a failure in September 2025 and was noted as an advisory in 2024. You should ensure the sensors are fully functional and not merely cleared of codes to mask a faulty component. While the nearside front headlamp failure from 2024 appears resolved, a check of the beam aim is necessary to ensure the bulb or assembly has been properly replaced and aligned.
