2019 Toyota Aygo 1.0L Petrol · NX19 EOG

The most recent MOT, completed on 30 January 2026 at 32,330 miles, returned a pass, yet the maintenance trend is not clean. That same day, an earlier test at 32,329 miles recorded a failure for a TPMS warning lamp, a nearside front brake pad below 1.5 mm, and a front brake disc worn and lipped with corrosion. The pass came after rectification, which suggests the immediate braking issue was addressed, but the underlying pattern of wear and corrosion was only just corrected rather than proactively managed. Tyre perishing and cracking in the tread were flagged again in the January 2026 pass, indicating an ongoing issue rather than a one-off defect. The mileage profile is notably low. The vehicle has covered roughly 32,330 miles over about seven years, averaging approximately 4,619 miles per year. The record shows a jump from 3,303 miles in February 2022 to 20,003 miles in February 2024, then to 27,885 miles by January 2025, and finally 32,330 miles by January 2026. That progression suggests a shift from very light use to more regular driving in recent years, which can accelerate wear on components that sat idle for long periods, particularly tyres, seals, and brake surfaces. A buyer should inspect the braking system closely. The January 2026 failure identified a worn front disc with corrosion lip and a critically thin pad, pointing to a system that was neglected until it reached a dangerous threshold. The pass on the same day confirms replacement or repair, but the condition of the rear brakes and calipers should be checked for imbalance or binding, especially given the 2024 advisory about front brake imbalance only just meeting requirements. The nearside rear wheel was also flagged as slightly distorted in 2026, and the offside front wheel showed the same issue in 2024, suggesting possible kerb damage or poor wheel condition that could affect tyre seating and suspension geometry. Tyre condition is a recurring concern. Cracking and perishing in the tread were noted in both 2024 and 2026 across multiple wheels. This points to age-related degradation rather than simple wear, likely from the vehicle's earlier low-use period. A buyer should check the date codes on all four tyres and the spare, and budget for replacement if the rubber is original or near-original. The TPMS warning lamp that triggered the 2026 failure also warrants attention, as it may indicate a sensor fault or a slow puncture rather than just low pressure. Overall, the car appears functional but has a history of deferred upkeep that a careful inspection can verify or rule out.
