2011 Toyota Aygo 1.0L Petrol · MW11 EXV

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history indicates a reactive rather than proactive ownership pattern. While the most recent test in June 2025 at 52,277 miles passed, it revealed recurring minor defects related to front tyre wear and a defective headlamp lens. This follows a significant failure in July 2024 where the car was grounded for critical brake components and bald tyres. The trend suggests the owner only addresses mechanical faults when they trigger an MOT failure rather than performing scheduled preventative servicing. At approximately fifteen years old, the recorded mileage of 52,277 miles is exceptionally low, averaging roughly 3,500 miles per annum. The data shows consistent low-usage patterns, with only 23,789 miles covered between the 2022 and June 2025 tests. Such low-mileage intervals are beneficial for the drivetrain but often lead to the degradation of rubber components due to age rather than use. The July 2022 test at 28,488 miles noted perishing and cracking on the nearside rear tyre, a common symptom of vehicles that sit stationary for extended periods. A buyer must physically inspect the braking system and suspension due to the documented history. The 2024 failure for thin front brake pads and significantly worn discs indicates the braking system was run to the point of failure, necessitating a check for seized calipers or uneven pad wear. Furthermore, the recurring mentions of uneven tyre wear in 2022 and 2025 suggest potential alignment issues or worn suspension bushes that have gone unaddressed. Given the vehicle's age and low mileage, a thorough check of the underbody for surface corrosion and perished hoses is essential to ensure the age-related failures have not compromised the structural integrity.
