2009 Toyota Aygo 1.0L Petrol · PE09 CSX

The 2026-06-18 test on a 2009 Toyota AyGO at 110,495 miles indicates the vehicle is roadworthy, but the MOT record suggests a significant deterioration trend in suspension components. The tester flagged binding rear brakes, nearside rear brake pipe corrosion, and offside rear brake pipe corrosion in the most recent test, which is a clear progression from the 2023-04-18 test where only nearside brake pipe corrosion was noted. This indicates that while the vehicle may be mechanically sound on paper, the wear on the suspension bushings and brake components has accelerated, suggesting a lack of regular servicing or maintenance. The mileage history reveals a rapid accumulation of wear, particularly on the suspension and brakes, which contrasts with the 2021-10-11 test where the rear brake pipe was corroded but the front tyre was only slightly damaged. The 2020-10-10 test shows a similar pattern, with coil springs corroded in both nearside and offside positions, confirming that the wear on the suspension system has been consistent and progressive over the last decade. This rapid accumulation of wear on critical components like the suspension bushings and brake discs, combined with the lack of a gap between the 2023 and 2020 tests, points to a potential risk of future breakdowns due to insufficient preventative maintenance. Given the recurring faults in the suspension, brake binders, and coil springs, a buyer should inspect the vehicle in person for binding rear brakes, nearside and offside brake pipe corrosion, and worn suspension bushings. If the buyer finds any signs of rust or corrosion on the brake discs or suspension components, they should consider bringing the car to a qualified technician for a full diagnostic to address the corrosion and ensure structural integrity before proceeding with a purchase. The history implies that basic upkeep has been skipped, making the vehicle's mechanical condition deteriorating rather than stable.
