2013 Toyota Aygo 1.0L Petrol · ND63 NFG

The 2013 Toyota Aygo presents a critical state of roadworthiness following its failed MOT on February 25, 2026 at 94,935 miles. While the vehicle passed tests in previous years, the most recent inspection reveals a catastrophic structural failure. The tester identified the front sub-frame as corroded, seriously weakened, and fractured, a major safety defect that renders the vehicle unroadworthy without extensive structural repair. This is compounded by multiple mechanical failures, including a defective gearbox mounting and play in the steering rack inner joints, suggesting a significant breakdown in chassis-level maintenance. The vehicle has covered approximately 95,000 miles over 13 years, maintaining a consistent average of roughly 7,300 miles per year. However, the data shows a clear decline in preventative care. In February 2025 at 82,904 miles, the car passed with several advisories regarding corrosion on the subframe mounts and worn anti-roll bar bushes. By the 2026 test, these minor issues had escalated into structural fractures and seized components. The presence of missing wheel fixings and excessively corroded brake pipes across all corners indicates that the previous owner neglected basic safety inspections and minor component replacements. Braking and suspension systems show signs of severe neglect. The 2026 record notes an inoperative nearside rear parking brake and low overall parking brake efficiency, alongside pitted and scored front brake discs. The suspension is also failing, with worn anti-roll bar linkages and suspension arm bushes on both sides. Furthermore, the supplementary restraint system warning lamp indicates a fault in the airbag deployment system, which is a serious safety concern. Given the structural damage to the subframe and the volume of required mechanical repairs, the cost to bring this vehicle back to a roadworthy standard likely exceeds its market value.
