2008 Toyota Aygo 1.0L Petrol · PL08 AFU

The vehicle maintains a stable roadworthiness status, evidenced by the most recent MOT pass on 21 July 2026 at 39,336 miles with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend has improved significantly following a period of noted issues. While the car previously showed specific vulnerabilities, the clean sheets from the last three annual tests indicate that identified mechanical concerns were addressed and the vehicle is currently meeting all minimum safety standards. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for an eighteen-year-old Toyota, averaging approximately 2,185 miles per year. The data shows consistent low-usage patterns, with the vehicle having covered only 12,268 miles by 2012 and reaching 39,336 miles by 2026. However, the low annual mileage of sometimes under 2,000 miles suggests the car has spent long periods sitting stationary, which often leads to age-related degradation of rubber-based components rather than wear and tear. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components susceptible to environmental decay despite low mileage. The July 2022 test at 24,183 miles flagged perishing rubber on both rear tyres and the nearside front tyre, a classic symptom of dry rot from infrequent use. Furthermore, the recurring corrosion on both front suspension arms noted in 2022 and 2023 at 28,478 miles indicates a tendency for surface rust on the chassis components. Although these passed subsequent tests, the structural state of the suspension arms and bushings should be visually verified to ensure the corrosion has not progressed since the last inspection.
