2012 Toyota Aygo 1.0L Petrol · RO12 TNE

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a shift toward reactive rather than proactive upkeep. The most recent test in October 2025 at 83,932 miles passed despite advisories for perished front anti-roll bar link bushes and noted exhaust surface corrosion. This follows a failure in May 2024 where the vehicle was sidelined for thin front brake linings, indicating that components are only addressed once they reach a critical failure point. At 83,932 miles over 14 years, this Aygo averages a low figure of approximately 6,000 miles per year. The data reveals a significant gap in usage between May 2023 (57,083 miles) and May 2024 (70,812 miles), where the car covered over 13,000 miles in a single year. This pattern suggests periods of high-intensity use followed by long periods of sitting stationary, which often leads to the degradation of rubber components and surface corrosion despite the low overall odometer reading. A buyer must pay close attention to the front suspension specifically, as the anti-roll bar linkages have been flagged as worn in three consecutive tests since 2024. The persistence of this fault suggests the owner may be replacing only individual pins rather than the entire assembly. The exhaust system also requires a physical inspection to ensure the noted surface corrosion has not progressed into structural perforation, which would necessitate a costly replacement. Given the previous failure for thin brake linings, a thorough check of the remaining brake pads and discs is necessary to ensure uneven wear is not present.
