2009 Toyota Aygo 1.0L Petrol · MT59 ABF

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history reveals a worsening trend regarding environmental degradation and component wear. While it passed its most recent test in November 2025 at 39,951 miles, this followed a failure just one day prior due to a structural sidewall tear. The record shows a persistent pattern of unaddressed corrosion and perish across multiple years, suggesting that while the car is driven infrequently, the rubber and metal components are failing from age-related decay rather than mechanical strain. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a seventeen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 2,350 miles per year. Between October 2023 and October 2024, the car covered only 1,614 miles. This low usage explains the presence of pitted front brake discs and perished rubber bushes, as these components have not been used enough to clear rust or maintain flexibility. However, the long intervals between tests have likely contributed to the heavy corrosion noted on the rear brake pipes and the under-sealing of the shock absorber casings. A prospective buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the underbody to assess the progression of rust. The rear brake pipes have been flagged as corroded and heavily under-sealed since 2024, and the 2025 test noted significant corrosion on the rear coil springs and suspension components. The front anti-roll bar linkage bushes have been listed as worn or cracked for three consecutive years, indicating they are due for replacement to ensure handling stability. Additionally, the engine oil leak noted since 2024 should be monitored to ensure it remains non-excessive despite the low mileage.
