2010 Toyota Aygo 1.0L Petrol · MF10 VFN

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history indicates a reactive rather than proactive approach to repairs. The most recent test in December 2025 at 96,085 miles passed with an advisory for deteriorating front link bushes on both sides. While the car passed its latest inspection, the trend of failures in the preceding two years suggests that components are only being addressed once they reach the point of legal failure. At 96,085 miles, this 16-year-old Aygo has averaged approximately 6,000 miles per year, which is consistent with low-to-moderate urban usage. The data shows consistent intervals between tests, with roughly 8,000 miles covered between September 2023 and December 2024, and another 12,600 miles between December 2024 and December 2025. This steady mileage explains the gradual wear seen on rubber components and suspension elements despite the vehicle's age. A buyer should conduct a close inspection of the front suspension geometry. The December 2024 failure for a worn offside front upper Macpherson strut top bush or bearing, followed by the current advisory for deteriorating link bushes, indicates the front end is beginning to require significant component replacement. The recurring electrical issues regarding the dashboard indicator tell-tale and position lamps in 2023 and 2024 were resolved, but the wiring looms should be checked to ensure no intermittent faults remain. The 2023 failure for front tyres being worn to the legal limit and on the edge suggests potential alignment issues or shock absorber neglect. The buyer must verify the current tyre tread depth and check for uneven wear across the front axle. Given the age of the vehicle, a physical check for corrosion on the sills and underbody is essential, although the MOT record does not currently flag any structural integrity concerns.
