2015 Toyota Aygo 1.0L Petrol · MW64 JZX

The vehicle remains roadworthy but the maintenance history shows a worsening trend regarding the braking system and suspension components. The most recent test in September 2025 at 43,126 miles identified multiple issues including thin front brake pads, pitted and scored discs, and a binding nearside rear caliper. While the car passed, the accumulation of these faults across the last three years suggests that preventative component replacement is being deferred until they reach a failure threshold rather than being addressed during routine service intervals. The mileage profile is notably low for an eleven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,900 miles per year. There is a significant gap in usage between September 2022 at 38,214 miles and September 2023 at 38,826 miles, where the car covered only 612 miles in a full year. This low usage pattern often correlates with the corrosion observed on the brake hoses and pitting on the discs, as components are not being used frequently enough to clear surface rust or prevent atmospheric oxidation. A buyer must conduct a close inspection of the braking assembly and front suspension geometry. The recurring reports of corrosion on the brake hose ferrules since 2023 indicate a long-term issue that will eventually require replacement to prevent sudden failure. Furthermore, the anti-roll bar linkage pins have been flagged for worn bushes in every test since 2021. Although the tester did not find excessive movement, the persistence of this advisories suggests the rubber components and joints are nearing the end of their functional life. The buyer should check for any play or clunking noises over uneven surfaces, as these mechanical parts are clearly degrading over time despite the low mileage.
