2015 Toyota Aygo 1.0L Petrol · RO64 LTX

The most recent MOT inspection on 23 January 2026 resulted in a pass with no recorded defects, indicating the vehicle was in a roadworthy condition at that time. Looking at the broader maintenance history, the trend appears stable and shows signs of proactive upkeep. While the vehicle failed in early 2023 due to minor consumable issues regarding windscreen wiper efficiency and headlamp aim, these were rectified during the test. The subsequent clean passes in 2025 and 2026 suggest that the owner is maintaining the vehicle to a consistent standard. With a recorded mileage of 76,641 miles over approximately eleven years, the vehicle has covered an average of roughly 6,967 miles per year. This level of usage is considered typical for a small city car and suggests a moderate driving profile. This mileage is low enough to avoid excessive drivetrain wear but high enough to suggest the vehicle is regularly used rather than being left stationary for extended periods. However, the relatively low annual mileage means that mechanical components may be more influenced by age and time-based degradation than by pure mileage accumulation. Given the advisory recorded in January 2024 regarding cracking or perishing on the offside rear tyre, a thorough inspection of all four tyres is essential. You should examine the sidewalls and tread areas of all tyres for any signs of age-related perishing, such as fine cracks, which can compromise structural integrity even if tread depth remains sufficient. During your test drive, listen for any irregular vibration or rhythmic thumping that might indicate tyre deformation or uneven wear. Additionally, because the vehicle has been driven at relatively low annual mileages, you should check for signs of brake disc corrosion or binding calipers, which can occur when a car is not driven frequently enough to clear surface oxidation. Beyond the tyres and brakes, you should pay close attention to age-related rubber components and fluids. Inspect the suspension bushes and engine mounts for any visible cracking or signs of deterioration, as these can lead to increased noise and vibration during driving. It is also advisable to verify the service history to ensure that fluid changes, such as brake fluid and engine coolant, have been performed on a calendar basis rather than solely based on mileage, as these fluids degrade over time. Finally, check the health of the 12V battery and ensure the cooling system shows no signs of weeping from hoses or connections, which are common age-related issues on vehicles of this vintage.
