2015 Toyota Aygo 1.0L Petrol · MM65 YEL

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the most recent inspection indicates a shift toward reactive maintenance regarding exterior components. The test on 10 June 2026 at 40,206 miles initially resulted in a failure due to headlamp aim and multiple tyre defects. While the car passed immediately upon rectification of these issues, the appearance of cracking and perishing on the nearside front and rear tyres suggests the rubber is degrading due to age and lack of use rather than tread-related wear. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for an eleven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,655 miles per year. The data shows a consistent low-usage pattern, with only 8,484 miles covered between the June 2022 and June 2026 tests. This low mileage often results in less mechanical strain on the engine and drivetrain, but it frequently correlates with the accelerated degradation of perishables and plastics, as seen in the recurring deterioration of the headlamp lenses noted between 2025 and 2026. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the condition of all rubber-based components, as the 2026 failure highlighted perishing tyres and sidewall damage. The 2022 record flagged corroded front brake discs and thin pads, which are common side effects when a vehicle sits stationary for long periods. Verify that the braking system is free of heavy pitting and that the headlamps have been properly adjusted to prevent further failure. Given the low mileage, also check for signs of fluid leaks or seized components that can occur during long intervals of inactivity.
