2007 Toyota Aygo 1.0L Petrol · NX07 RFF

The vehicle passed its latest MOT on 2025‑07‑08 at 77,281 miles, but the test recorded several advisories that point to an ongoing maintenance issue. Front brake pads were noted as wearing thin on both sides, the front and rear subframe mounting areas showed corrosion, rear suspension spring mounting was corroded, the rear registration plate lamp was missing, and rear axle swivel pins and bushes were slightly worn. These items had appeared in the preceding failed test on 2025‑07‑07 and in earlier records dating back to 2023, indicating a stable to worsening trend rather than improvement. The pattern of corrosion on subframe mounts and suspension components has persisted across multiple years, while brake‑related wear has re‑appeared in the most recent test, suggesting that routine servicing has not fully addressed these wear items. Mileage accumulation for a 2007 model has been low, averaging roughly 4,067 miles per year to reach 77,281 miles by mid‑2025. The most recent MOT entries are within the last twelve months, providing a clear recent snapshot, but the gaps between tests show a slowing rate of mileage increase. For example, the vehicle moved from 75,033 miles in March 2025 to 77,281 miles in July 2025—a gain of just 2,248 miles over four months—compared with a jump of about 9,176 miles between February 2024 (65,857 miles) and March 2025 (75,033 miles). The record is relatively sparse after 2023, but the data that does exist consistently highlights corrosion and consumable wear. A prospective buyer should inspect the front and rear subframe mounting areas for signs of corrosion, check brake pad thickness on both axles, verify operation of the rear registration plate lamp, and examine the rear axle swivel pins and bushes for excessive wear. Brake hoses and pipes should be inspected for corrosion or deterioration, and the suspension spring mountings and anti‑roll bar components should be examined for rust or looseness. Finally, a thorough under‑body scan is advisable to assess the extent of structural corrosion that has been noted repeatedly in the MOT history.
