2006 Toyota Aygo 1.0L Petrol · RO06 OTD

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a pass in February 2026, but the mechanical history reveals a worsening trend regarding structural corrosion. While the most recent test at 107,520 miles passed, the tester identified corrosion on the front anti-roll bar and the rear sub-frame. This represents a progression from the February 2025 failure where the rear suspension mounting areas suffered from excessive corrosion. Although the vehicle has passed since those major faults, the underlying structural integrity of the chassis is clearly under active threat from environmental oxidation. At approximately twenty years old, the recorded mileage of 107,520 miles reflects a low annual average of roughly 5,400 miles. This usage pattern has remained consistent over the last three years, with approximately 2,830 miles driven between the February 2025 and February 2026 tests. Low mileage often suggests less mechanical wear on the drivetrain and engine, but it frequently correlates with the accelerated rust issues seen here, as vehicles that sit for long periods are more susceptible to moisture-related corrosion on underbody components. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the rear sub-frame and all suspension mounting points. The failure in early 2025 for excessive corrosion on the mounting areas is a critical indicator that the vehicle may be nearing an unrepairable structural state. Additionally, the braking system shows a recurring pattern of neglect, with worn and pitted front brake discs noted in both 2025 and 2026. The oil leak identified in 2024 should also be monitored to ensure it has not worsened into a more significant failure.
