2013 Toyota Aygo 1.0L Petrol · PF13 PFG

A generally stable roadworthiness record is offset by a recurring minor electrical fault and a history of specific braking system failures. The latest test on 6 May 2026 resulted in a pass, but it continues to carry a minor defect regarding the nearside rear registration plate lamp, a fault that has remained unaddressed since the April 2025 inspection. This pattern indicates a persistent, though non-critical, failure in the rear lighting circuit. The recorded mileage of 70,677 miles over 13 years reflects a low annual average of approximately 5,437 miles. This usage pattern suggests the vehicle has not been subjected to the high-wear cycles typical of long-distance commuting. However, low-mileage vehicles are often more susceptible to surface corrosion on brake components due to infrequent heavy braking, which aligns with the pitting observed in the 2023 records. Specific scrutiny is required for the front braking system following a major failure in May 2023 for an excessively chafed nearside front brake hose and a corresponding advisory for worn, pitted, or scored front inner brake discs. On a test drive, the buyer should be alert for any pedal pulsation or steering wheel judder under braking, which would suggest the disc surfaces remain uneven. The integrity of the brake lines should be visually checked for any further signs of chafing or perishing. Further inspection should cover the windscreen clearing equipment, which caused a failure in May 2022 due to ineffective wiper blades and a non-functional washer system. The buyer should ensure the washer fluid flows freely from all jets and that the blades clear the glass without leaving streaks. Finally, the persistent failure of the nearside rear registration plate lamp should be verified to ensure the bulb or housing is now operational.
