2013 Toyota Aygo 1.0L Petrol · OF09 LOW

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT on 8 April 2026 at 48,773 miles. However, the maintenance trend is declining. While the 2025 test was clean, the latest inspection flagged severely deteriorated dust covers on both front anti-roll bar linkage ball joints. This suggests a lack of proactive preventative maintenance on rubber components and suspension joints. The mileage is exceptionally low for a 2013 model, averaging roughly 3,752 miles per year. The accumulation has remained steady and low over the last four years, growing from 34,496 miles in April 2022 to 48,773 miles in April 2026. Such low usage often leads to the degradation of rubber seals and the accumulation of surface rust due to lack of heat cycles and road spray clearing. A buyer must closely inspect the chassis and sills for structural integrity. The tester noted surface corrosion underneath in April 2024 and again in April 2026, specifically highlighting the outer sills. This indicates a persistent issue with oxidation that may progress from surface rust to structural rot if left untreated. The braking system requires scrutiny. The April 2023 test identified a corroded offside rear brake pipe, and the April 2024 test flagged pitted or scored front brake discs. These recurring issues with corrosion and wear on a low-mileage car suggest the vehicle may have spent significant time stationary in a damp environment. Verify that the brake pipes have been replaced rather than just greased to hide the corrosion.
