2015 Toyota Aygo 1.0L Petrol · MM64 PYW

This Toyota Aygo has maintained a consistent MOT history since 2022, with the most recent test on 11 August 2025 at 47,943 miles resulting in a clean pass—no defects or advisories recorded. The single failure in July 2024 at 44,597 miles stands out as an anomaly, though no specific faults were logged, suggesting either a minor procedural oversight or a test centre error. Beyond that, the vehicle has passed every annual inspection without issue, indicating no recurring mechanical or structural concerns. The absence of advisories in the latest test further supports that critical components like suspension alignment, brake binding, or exhaust emissions have not been compromised. The recorded mileage of 47,943 miles over 11 years—roughly 4,358 miles annually—is unusually low for its age, particularly given the Aygo’s typical usage patterns. The gap between the 2022 and 2023 tests (3,212 miles in a year) and the subsequent 2023–2024 period (2,048 miles) suggests prolonged periods of inactivity, which could either mean the vehicle was stored or used sparingly. The rapid accumulation of 883 miles between the failed July 2024 test and the subsequent pass in August 2024 hints at recent reactivation, though this does not necessarily imply accelerated wear. Buyers should note that low mileage alone does not preclude deferred maintenance—fluid changes, suspension bush deterioration, or corrosion could still be latent risks. Given the lack of recorded faults, the most prudent in-person inspections should focus on suspension integrity , particularly the condition of rear coil springs and bushes, which are prone to fatigue over 11 years even with low mileage. The brakes, though never flagged in tests, warrant scrutiny for uneven wear or binding calipers, especially if the vehicle has been stored. Examine the exhaust system for silent leaks or rust-induced holes, as emissions tests historically lack sensitivity to minor leaks. Structural corrosion, particularly around wheel arches and sills, should be checked, as prolonged inactivity can accelerate deterioration. The 2024 failure, despite no defects, raises caution—verify whether the test centre’s failure was procedural or if underlying issues (e.g., brake fluid contamination, minor emissions slip) were overlooked.
