2016 Toyota Aygo 1.0L Petrol · NA16 MVT

The Toyota Aygo has demonstrated consistent roadworthiness over its MOT history, with every test since 2022 passing without defects or advisories. The most recent inspection on 29 January 2026, at 74,008 miles, confirms no outstanding issues, though the 6-month gap since then means the vehicle has not yet undergone its mandatory annual check. This pattern suggests the car has been maintained at a basic level, with no evidence of recurring mechanical failures or structural concerns during official testing. Mileage progression indicates steady usage, averaging around 7,400 miles annually—a typical rate for a vehicle of this age. The largest jump occurred between the June 2023 (65,130 miles) and June 2024 (69,498 miles) tests, covering 4,368 miles in under a year, which could imply either regular driving or a period of higher mileage accumulation. There are no extended gaps suggesting neglect, though the absence of service records means wear on non-MOT items—such as timing belts, differential fluid, or suspension bushes—cannot be confirmed. Given the clean MOT history, a buyer should prioritise an independent inspection of suspension components, particularly the rear coil springs and bushes, which are common wear points on this model. The brakes, though never flagged, should be checked for uneven pad thickness or binding calipers, especially if the vehicle has been driven hard. Corrosion around wheel arches, sills, and the subframe is another critical area, as the Aygo’s lightweight construction makes it vulnerable to rust progression. Finally, verify the condition of the exhaust system for leaks or cracked pipes, as catalytic converter failures are occasionally reported on this model. No advisories in the MOT history does not preclude these issues.
