2014 Toyota Aygo 1.0L Petrol · OV64 ADX

The most recent MOT test conducted on 07 October 2025 resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. Reviewing the longitudinal data from 2021 through to 2025, the vehicle shows an exceptionally stable maintenance trend, characterized by a consistent series of clean passes without a single recorded failure or advisory. This suggests that the vehicle has been well-maintained or has operated in conditions that have not stressed its mechanical or structural components, providing a high level of confidence in its documented roadworthiness history. The recorded mileage of 54,260 miles is significantly lower than the national average for a vehicle of this age, representing an annual usage rate of approximately 4,522 miles. While this low mileage implies minimal wear on the engine, transmission, and suspension assemblies, it also indicates a pattern of infrequent use. Mechanically, vehicles with such low annual mileage can sometimes suffer from issues related to stagnation, such as fluid degradation or the drying out of rubber seals and gaskets, which should be a primary consideration during your physical inspection. Given the lack of recorded defects, your inspection should focus on age-related deterioration rather than component wear. Carefully inspect the tyres for signs of perishing, such as sidewall cracking or fine cracks in the tread grooves, as rubber loses its elasticity over a twelve-year period regardless of mileage. Check the brake discs for heavy corrosion or pitting, which can occur if the vehicle has been stationary for long periods, and listen for any signs of binding calipers or unusual noises during braking. It is also essential to verify the service book to ensure that time-based maintenance, such as oil changes and brake fluid replacements, has been carried out according to the calendar rather than solely based on mileage intervals. Additionally, pay close attention to the 12V battery health, as infrequent driving can lead to slow discharge and reduced cranking power. During your test drive, listen for any knocks or clunks from the suspension, which could indicate that the bushes or coil springs have perished due to age. Check for any signs of fluid leaks around the engine bay, as seals can become brittle over time. Ensuring the vehicle starts reliably and maintains a steady idle will be key to confirming that the engine and fuel system have remained healthy despite the low usage profile.
