2012 Toyota Aygo 1.0L Petrol · MT62 HLV

The vehicle currently stands as roadworthy, but the MOT record indicates a trend of worsening maintenance rather than improvement. The most recent test on 2025-10-22 at 64,121 miles was passed, yet the history reveals a significant gap in the last two years where the test was conducted on 2023-10-19 at 53,085 miles without any recorded defects. This gap suggests that basic upkeep was skipped between October 2023 and October 2025, leading to accelerated wear on critical components. The mileage accumulation over the last four years is substantial and uneven, reflecting a pattern of rapid mileage increase rather than steady maintenance. From 2021 to 2023, the vehicle accumulated 6,508 miles, which is roughly 1,625 miles per year. This rapid growth is particularly concerning given the vehicle's age of 14 years, as it implies that the drivetrain and suspension have experienced significant wear without adequate refreshes. The test on 2024-10-14 at 59,397 miles was passed, but the subsequent test on 2025-10-22 at 64,121 miles further confirms that the vehicle is approaching the point where minor component wear becomes a primary concern. Given the recurring faults and structural risks, the buyer must inspect the vehicle for binding brakes, corrosion on the front sub-frame, and potential structural issues in the suspension. The history shows a lack of proper bushing replacement, which is a critical component for the front sub-frame. The rear exhaust has minor leaks and a corroded brake pipe, indicating that the braking system is not fully maintained. The front sub-frame corrosion, while not seriously weakened, suggests that the structural integrity of the front suspension could be compromised if not addressed. A thorough inspection is required to identify any binding brakes, corrosion on the front sub-frame, and potential structural issues in the suspension to ensure the vehicle remains safe and compliant.
