2020 Toyota Aygo 1.0L Petrol · MB04 ACE

This Toyota Aygo’s most recent MOT test on 2025-06-03 resulted in a rare dual entry—one pass and one fail at identical mileage—before passing again without recorded defects. The absence of advisories or repeated issues across all five tests suggests no persistent mechanical failures, though the duplicate entry warrants scrutiny of whether this was a procedural anomaly or a genuine oversight in test administration. The vehicle has maintained a clean MOT history since 2022, with no evidence of recurring faults in brakes, suspension, or emissions. However, the lack of advisories in prior tests means critical components like coil springs, steering dampers, or subframe mounts cannot be ruled out as degraded without further inspection. The recorded mileage of 26,902 miles over six years—approximately 4,484 miles annually—indicates unusually light usage for its age. The gaps between tests (ranging from 11 to 18 months) align with standard MOT intervals, but the slow accumulation of miles raises questions about whether the vehicle has been stored or driven infrequently. Such low mileage can mask wear on components like brake pads, which may have been replaced without MOT-triggering issues, or suspension bushes that could degrade slowly over time without stress. The consistency of mileage increments (e.g., 13,900 to 19,935 miles in a year) suggests no sudden spikes in usage that might have accelerated wear. Given the clean MOT record, a buyer should prioritise an independent inspection of high-wear items not always captured in standard tests. Focus on the suspension—particularly rear bushes and coil springs—for signs of cracking or excessive play, as these are common failure points in low-mileage vehicles left stationary for extended periods. The brakes, while never failed, should be checked for uneven wear or binding calipers, especially if the vehicle has been stored; corrosion on the brake discs or drums could indicate moisture exposure. Examine the underbody for corrosion around the subframe, sills, and exhaust system, as rust can compromise structural integrity without immediate MOT consequences. Finally, verify the condition of the tyres, including tread depth and lateral wear, as the record shows no failures but does not detail whether replacements have been made proactively.
