2009 Toyota Aygo 1.0L Petrol · MT59 ABO

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history reveals a worsening trend regarding structural and component degradation. While the most recent test in November 2025 at 116,068 miles passed, the tester identified a significant increase in corrosion-related defects compared to previous years. The progression from a seriously weakened sub-frame in 2023 to widespread corrosion across all coil springs and suspension mounting points by 2025 suggests that the vehicle is entering a stage where accelerated oxidation is the primary concern. At 116,068 miles, this 17-year-old Toyota Aygo has averaged approximately 6,800 miles per year. This relatively low annual mileage is typical for a city car, yet the record shows consistent intervals of use with no significant gaps suggesting long periods of storage. Between December 2023 and November 2025, the vehicle covered roughly 5,200 miles. The low mileage has not prevented the environmental degradation of the metal components, as evidenced by the recurring rust issues on the sub-frame and braking lines. A prospective buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the front sub-frame and lower suspension arms. The 2023 failure specifically noted a hole in the sub-frame, and while the 2025 report claims it is no longer seriously weakened, the structural integrity of the chassis requires close monitoring for deep pitting. The rear coil springs and brake hoses have been flagged for corrosion across three consecutive years; these components should be checked for hairline fractures or thinning material that could lead to failure.
