2008 Toyota Aygo 1.0L Petrol · OV58 LML

The vehicle currently presents a poor roadworthiness state following a worsening trend of mechanical neglect. The most recent test on December 23, 2025 at 75,551 miles resulted in multiple failures across braking, suspension, and lighting systems. While the car passed its tests in 2022 and 2023, the high volume of defects in the latest inspection indicates that the owner is only addressing faults once they trigger an MOT failure rather than performing preventative maintenance. At 18 years old, the Aygo shows a low mileage of 75,551 miles, averaging approximately 4,200 miles per year. This low usage profile often suggests lighter wear, but the data indicates the vehicle may suffer from sitting periods. Between December 2024 and December 2025, the car covered only 5,269 miles, yet it emerged with significant corrosion on the offside rear brake pipe and deteriorated suspension components. This pattern indicates that metal components and rubber seals are degrading due to age and exposure rather than high miles driven. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the front suspension and braking assembly. The 2025 failure flagged worn suspension arm bushes, a worn anti-roll bar linkage, and severely deteriorated offside front ball joint dust covers. Furthermore, the front brake discs are pitted and scored with pads measuring below the legal 1.5mm limit, necessitating immediate replacement. The excessive corrosion on the offside rear brake pipe is a structural concern that could lead to fluid leaks, and the nearside front wheel bearing should be checked for signs of play or noise following its previous failure in 2024.
