2021 Toyota Aygo 1.0L Petrol · SA71 FMO

A single advisory dominates the otherwise spotless MOT record: the off‑side front inner brake disc shows wear, pitting or scoring, though it was judged not seriously weakened at the 8 June 2026 test, which the vehicle passed. All three annual inspections since 2024 have otherwise recorded no defects, indicating a stable roadworthiness trend with no recurring failures. With just 22,892 mi logged over roughly five years, the average annual accumulation sits near 4,600 mi, well below the typical UK usage pattern for a small hatchback. Such low mileage suggests limited wear on consumables such as tyres, suspension bushings and engine components, but it can also hint at periods of infrequent use or storage, which may allow corrosion to develop unnoticed on brake hardware or other exposed parts. When inspecting the brakes, pay particular attention to the off‑side front inner disc: look for surface irregularities, deep scoring or excessive rust, and listen for high‑pitched squeal or low‑frequency growl under moderate braking pressure. Feel the pedal for any sponginess or pulsation that could indicate uneven disc thickness, and verify that the accompanying pads are not excessively worn, as thin pads can accelerate disc degradation. A thorough visual check of the caliper mounting bolts and surrounding dust shield for corrosion or loose fittings is also advisable. Given the clean MOT history apart from the disc advisory, the next logical maintenance item is likely the replacement of that front disc before it approaches the minimum thickness limit, especially if any of the symptoms above are present. While the low mileage reduces the urgency of other wear items, a comprehensive pre‑purchase inspection should still include a check of tyre tread depth, suspension bushings for any creak or play, and a functional test of steering feel, to ensure that the vehicle’s overall condition matches the low‑mileage profile presented by the MOT data.
