2008 Toyota Aygo 1.0L Petrol · LT08 WPD

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a shift towards developing mechanical and electrical wear. While the most recent test in October 2025 passed at 136,530 miles, the tester identified a minor exhaust leak and damaged anti-lock braking system wiring. These issues represent a departure from the clean records seen in 2022 and 2023, suggesting that the vehicle is now entering a phase where component degradation requires proactive attention. The mileage pattern is consistent with an eighteen-year-old city car, averaging approximately 7,600 miles per year. Between November 2024 and October 2025, the car covered 2,170 miles, indicating a steady but low usage profile. The gap between the 2023 and 2024 tests shows an increase of nearly 5,000 miles, which aligns with the recorded wear on the nearside tyres, suggesting the previous owner only addressed maintenance when prompted by the annual inspection. A buyer must conduct a physical inspection of the exhaust system to locate the source of the gas leak, as minor leaks can worsen and affect emissions if left unaddressed. The damaged ABS wiring noted in late 2025 requires close scrutiny for fraying or abrasion that could lead to sensor failure. Given the uneven tyre wear reported in November 2024, a professional check of the suspension bushes and wheel alignment is essential to ensure that mechanical geometry issues are not causing premature tyre consumption.
