2010 Toyota Aygo 1.0L Petrol · RO60 YOF

The vehicle remains roadworthy but the maintenance history reveals a consistent pattern of neglect regarding basic electrical and rubber components. While the test in January 2026 at 36,585 miles passed, it introduced multiple new faults including a non-functional hazard warning tell-tale and both indicator tell-tales. This represents a worsening trend in electrical reliability that has persisted or escalated over the last five years, suggesting the owner only addresses the absolute minimum required to pass the MOT test rather than performing preventative maintenance. The recorded mileage of 36,585 miles is exceptionally low for a sixteen-year-old vehicle, averaging just over 2,200 miles per year. Between January 2022 and January 2026, the car covered only 5,116 miles, indicating very infrequent use or long periods of stationary. While this low mileage typically reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine, it often leads to the degradation of rubber components due to age rather than mechanical friction. The presence of perishing and cracking tyres in both the 2025 and 2026 tests is a direct consequence of the rubber drying out despite the low distance driven. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the lighting system and the tyre condition. The recurring failure of the indicator tell-tales across five consecutive tests suggests a persistent wiring issue or a faulty stalk switch that has been ignored for years. The tyres should be checked for deep sidewall cracking, as the tester has already flagged them as reaching their structural limit regardless of tread depth. Additionally, because the vehicle sits for long periods, the brake discs should be inspected for surface corrosion and seized calipers, which are common issues in low-mileage cars of this age.
