2019 Toyota Aygo 1.0L Petrol · LS69 EXL

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a trend of deferred repairs regarding consumable components. While the car passed its April 2026 test at 33,937 miles, it had failed just one day prior due to multiple defects including a non-functional rear stop lamp, a defective wiper blade, and tyre-related failures. The recurring nature of these issues across the last three tests suggests that the owner only addresses mechanical faults when prompted by an impending MOT failure rather than performing proactive preventative maintenance. At 33,937 miles over seven years, the Aygo shows low mileage, averaging approximately 4,850 miles per annum. This usage profile explains the lack of mechanical wear on the drivetrain but introduces risks related to age-related degradation. The record shows a clean test in 2023 at 17,204 miles, but subsequent years have flagged consistent issues. The perishing and cracking of the rear tyres noted in both 2025 and 2026 indicates the vehicle likely sits stationary for long periods, causing the rubber to dry out and fail despite having low tread depth. A buyer must conduct a close inspection of the nearside front shock absorber, which has shown light misting of oil since 2024 at 21,129 miles. While currently an advisory only, the persistence of this leak over three years indicates a seal failure that will eventually require replacement. The tyres should also be checked for deep sidewall cracking, as the record confirms a history of allowing aged rubber to deteriorate. Additionally, the uneven wear noted on the nearside front tyre in 2025 and 2026 suggests a potential alignment issue that should be verified to prevent premature wear of new tyres.
