2007 Toyota Aygo 1.0L Petrol · MV57 LGC

The vehicle remains roadworthy but the maintenance history reveals a worsening trend regarding structural corrosion and mechanical neglect. In the most recent test in September 2025 at 82,641 miles, the tester identified corroded front anti-roll bars and a worn offside rear tyre. While the car consistently passes its tests, the recurring mention of rust on sills, floors, and brake pipes indicates that the structural integrity of the vehicle is slowly degrading due to age, despite the low annual mileage. At 19 years old, the recorded mileage of 82,641 miles is exceptionally low, averaging approximately 4,350 miles per year. The data shows consistent usage patterns, with annual intervals of roughly 2,000 to 3,000 miles recorded between between 2021 and 2025. This low mileage suggests the engine and drivetrain have faced light use, but periods of standing between tests appear to have accelerated the development of oxidation across the underbody and caused the noted issues with perished tyres. A buyer must prioritize a thorough inspection of the underbody to assess the extent of the rust. The record flags corrosion on the inner sills and floor since 2023, which progressed to a corroded back axle by 2024. These structural concerns are critical as they often lead to failure if left untreated. Furthermore, the brake pipes have been flagged as rusted for three consecutive years, requiring a physical check to ensure they have not thinned to the point of sudden hydraulic failure. The braking and suspension also require attention. The history shows a pattern of binding rear brakes in both 2021 and 2022, suggesting seized calipers or sticking sliders that need servicing. The misting on the nearside front shock absorber noted in 2024 indicates the beginning of a seal failure. Given the recurring advisories for worn and perished tyres, the buyer should also verify the current condition of all rubber components and tyres, as the vehicle suffers more from age-related degradation than from mileage-related wear.
