2017 Toyota Aygo 1.0L Petrol · RK67 AXC

Recurring advisories regarding structural damage to the offside front subframe and a history of perishing tyres define the mechanical record of this vehicle. While it passed its latest inspection on 17 June 2026, the record shows a persistent pattern of minor defects and a dangerous failure in 2024 related to tyre structural integrity. The presence of the same subframe damage advisory across multiple years suggests a permanent deformation or impact mark that has remained stable but unrectified. With 34,989 miles recorded over approximately nine years, the vehicle has averaged fewer than 4,000 miles per year. This low annual accumulation is consistent with the specific types of degradation noted in the MOT history, such as the pitting of brake discs and the cracking and perishing of tyre sidewalls. Such patterns are typical of vehicles that spend extended periods stationary, where consumables degrade due to age and environmental exposure rather than mechanical wear from high mileage. A physical inspection should focus on the offside front subframe near the wishbone mounting point to determine the extent of the recorded damage. During a test drive, listen for knocking or clicking sounds when traversing uneven surfaces or during low-speed cornering, which would indicate that the previously flagged wear in the front anti-roll bar linkage pins and bushes has progressed. The braking system should be evaluated for any pedal judder or vibration, reflecting the history of pitted and scored front brake discs. Close attention must be paid to the current condition of all tyres, specifically looking for sidewall cracking or lumps, given the 2024 dangerous failure for tyre separation. The electrical system requires verification, as the horn tone and nearside front fog lamp have been flagged as defective or poor across multiple consecutive tests. Ensure these components are fully operational, as their repeated appearance in the records indicates they may have been overlooked during previous remedial works.
