2016 Toyota Aygo 1.0L Petrol · NJ16 CPZ

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT on 9 July 2026 at 57,152 miles. However, the maintenance trend is worsening. While the car passed without defects in July 2024, the subsequent two tests show a steady increase in suspension and tyre wear. The latest inspection flagged worn anti-roll bar linkage pins and bushes on both the nearside and offside, alongside worn suspension arm bushes. These are not yet failures but indicate a clear decline in front-end component integrity. The mileage is low for a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging roughly 5,715 miles per year. The accumulation has remained consistent, with a steady climb from 23,981 miles in February 2019 to 57,152 miles in July 2026. There are no erratic jumps or significant gaps in the record that would suggest periods of prolonged standing or undisclosed heavy use. A buyer should prioritise a physical inspection of the front suspension and steering geometry. The recurring mentions of worn anti-roll bar linkages and suspension arm bushes in 2025 and 2026 suggest these components are reaching the end of their service life. The tester also flagged deteriorated dust covers on the anti-roll bar linkages in July 2025, which often leads to the premature wear noted in the 2026 test. Tyre maintenance appears reactive rather than proactive. The nearside front tyre was flagged as worn or edge-worn in July 2023, July 2025, and again in July 2026. This suggests the owner has neglected to replace tyres or perform necessary wheel alignments, which likely contributed to the accelerated wear of the suspension bushes. Check all four tyres for uneven wear patterns before purchase.
