2022 Toyota Aygo X Edge VVT-I 1.0L Petrol · M99 PCW

The most recent MOT, carried out on 3 September 2025, was passed with no recorded defects, and the vehicle has achieved four consecutive annual passes since its first test. The lone failure recorded on 15 September 2022 also listed no defects, suggesting an administrative or paperwork issue rather than a mechanical shortfall. Overall the maintenance trend appears stable, with the car consistently meeting the statutory safety and emissions criteria over the past four years. At 32,754 miles on the odometer the Aygo averages roughly 8,200 miles per annum, a usage rate that sits comfortably within the typical range for a small city car of this age. There are no obvious gaps in the recorded mileage that would imply long periods of inactivity, nor is there evidence of accelerated wear from high‑kilometre use. Consequently the wear on consumables such as tyres, brakes and suspension components should be proportionate to the mileage rather than excessive. Given the clean MOT record, the buyer should focus on age‑related inspections. Tyre tread depth should be measured and the sidewalls examined for cracking, dry rot or perishing, as rubber can deteriorate after six years even with modest use. The 12‑volt battery should be tested for cranking voltage and electrolyte level, particularly if the car has spent any time standing idle. Brake discs and pads merit visual inspection for surface corrosion, glazing or uneven wear, and the calipers should be checked for smooth operation without binding. A review of the service book is essential to confirm that oil, coolant and brake fluid have been changed at the manufacturer‑recommended intervals; fluid colour and clarity can reveal whether a time‑based service is overdue. Finally, a thorough pre‑purchase examination should include a check of the suspension bushings, coil springs and anti‑roll bar links for any play or clunking noises during a short drive over bumps. The exhaust system should be inspected for rust or perforations, and all lighting, wiper and electronic controls must function correctly. Verifying that any outstanding Toyota recalls—particularly those concerning airbags or steering components—have been completed will further ensure the vehicle’s roadworthiness before purchase.
