2018 Toyota Aygo 1.0L Petrol · NL18 AJO

The vehicle's current roadworthiness status appears stable following the successful MOT test on 29 October 2025 at 97,964 miles. While the record shows a failure on 28 October 2025 at 97,963 miles, the lack of recorded defects for that failure suggests a minor or administrative issue rather than a mechanical failure. The absence of advisories in the most recent passing tests indicates that the vehicle has been maintained sufficiently to meet basic regulatory standards without recurring issues in the recorded period. The mileage accumulation suggests heavy usage for a vehicle of this age. In the 2023 test at 45,496 miles, the car had covered a moderate distance, but it has since seen a significant increase in usage. Between the 21 November 2024 test at 55,757 miles and the 29 October 2025 test at 97,964 miles, the vehicle covered 42,207 miles in less than a year. This rapid increase in mileage indicates the vehicle is used primarily for high-frequency commuting or long-distance driving, which places higher stress on the drivetrain and suspension components compared to lower-mileage examples. A physical inspection should focus on components subject to high wear due to this recent high-mileage usage. Given the rapid accumulation of miles, the buyer should scrutinise the condition of the suspension bushes, coil springs, and shock absorbers for signs of fatigue or leaks. The braking system, specifically the thickness of the brake discs and the condition of the pads, warrants a close look to ensure no uneven wear has occurred during high-speed or high-frequency driving. The buyer should also check the underside for signs of corrosion or structural damage that may have occurred during more intensive road use. While the MOT history is clean of structural advisories, the sheer volume of miles covered in the last 18 months means the vehicle's service intervals may have been stretched. Verifying that the oil and coolant have been changed according to the manufacturer's schedule is essential to ensure the longevity of the engine under this high-load usage pattern.
