2007 Toyota Aygo 1.0L Petrol · NG57 YVF

The vehicle remains roadworthy but the maintenance history reveals a worsening trend regarding structural integrity and component degradation. While the car passed the November 2025 test at 36,845 miles, the tester identified corrosion under the rear sills. This represents a progression from the November 2024 test where the inner sills were already flagged for corrosion. The presence of structural rust in the sills is a primary concern for long-term viability despite the vehicle's mechanical operation. At 19 years old, the recorded mileage of 36,845 miles is exceptionally low, averaging under 2,000 miles per year. This low usage pattern is consistent across the records, with only 1,069 miles covered between the 2024 and 2025 tests. However, such low annual mileage often correlates with age-related failures rather than mechanical wear. The October 2022 failure highlighted perishing tyres on all four wheels, suggesting the vehicle likely sat for long periods, allowing rubber to dry out despite minimal use. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the rear sills and floor pans to determine if the reported corrosion is surface-level or indicative of structural thinning. The history shows a recurring pattern of brake-related issues, including corroded brake pipes and hoses noted in 2023, and pitted front discs in 2025. These indicators suggest that the braking system is suffering from oxidation due to lack of use. Additionally, the corroded coil springs and anti-roll bar bushes identified in previous years should be checked for hairline fractures to ensure the suspension remains safe.
