2014 Toyota Aygo 1.0L Petrol · OV64 AEA

The 2014 Toyota Aygo has maintained a clean MOT history since its most recent test on 2025-07-19, where it passed without any defects at 54,577 miles. This represents a stable roadworthiness trend over the past two years, with no recurring advisories or failures. The vehicle’s compliance with current UK regulations is evident, though the absence of defects does not preclude underlying wear—particularly in components subject to gradual degradation such as suspension bushes, coil springs, or brake calipers. The most recent test’s proximity to today’s date (less than a year old) suggests the vehicle has not yet reached its next mandatory inspection, allowing for a window of observation before the next MOT cycle. The recorded mileage of 54,577 miles over approximately 12 years indicates unusually low annual mileage, averaging around 4,548 miles per year. This pattern is notable for its consistency, with no abrupt spikes or prolonged gaps that might suggest neglect or extended periods of disuse. The most significant mileage jump occurred between the 2023 failure (39,161 miles) and the subsequent pass (39,169 miles), a mere eight-day interval that likely reflects a quick resolution of a minor issue rather than a pattern of deferred maintenance. The lack of mileage gaps between tests—particularly the 2023 failure followed immediately by a pass—implies the vehicle was either stored briefly or driven sparingly during that period. Given the clean MOT record, a buyer should prioritise an in-person inspection of suspension components, including the condition of rear wheel bearings and front/rear suspension bushes, as these are common wear items that may not always trigger MOT failures until they reach critical thresholds. The brakes, while not flagged in recent tests, warrant scrutiny for uneven wear or binding calipers, especially if the vehicle has been lightly used, as this can lead to corrosion or lack of use-related deterioration. Additionally, the structural integrity of wheel arches and sills should be examined for corrosion, as the Aygo’s compact design can be prone to rust progression in high-exposure areas. The 2023 failure, though unrecorded for specific defects, suggests a minor oversight was addressed promptly—buyers should verify whether this related to a consumable (e.g., bulbs, wiper blades) or a more structural issue.
