2015 Toyota Aygo 1.0L Petrol · SB65 CLU

The most recent MOT test conducted on 11 August 2026 resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. When reviewing the long-term history, the maintenance trend appears to be improving. Between 2021 and 2024, the vehicle suffered from a series of recurring advisories and a failure related to brake corrosion, suspension rust, and tyre degradation. However, the absence of any advisories in the 2025 and 2026 tests suggests that these previous issues have been addressed or the vehicle has entered a more stable period of maintenance. The recorded mileage of 33,122 miles over approximately 11 years is exceptionally low, averaging roughly 3,011 miles per year. While this indicates minimal wear on the engine and drivetrain components, such low usage often presents its own set of mechanical challenges. The historical record of binding brakes, pitted discs, and perishing tyres is characteristic of a vehicle that has spent extended periods stationary, which can lead to the seizure of moving parts and the degradation of rubber components due to lack of regular heat cycles and lubrication. Prospective buyers should pay close attention to the braking system and suspension, given the history of corrosion. Although recent tests are clean, you should inspect the brake pipes for any signs of scaling or previous repairs and listen for any grinding or shuddering during the test drive, which would indicate that the previously pitted discs were not replaced. The recurring advisories for corroded coil springs are also a point of concern; visually inspect the springs for heavy rust or fractures, as these can compromise the vehicle's ride height and handling stability. Because the car has been used infrequently, you must verify that maintenance has been performed based on time intervals rather than mileage. Check the service book to ensure the engine oil and fluids have been changed annually to prevent sludge buildup and internal corrosion. Examine the tyre sidewalls for fine cracking or perishing, as old rubber becomes brittle and unsafe regardless of the remaining tread depth. Finally, test the 12V battery health and check the gearbox area for any residual oil leaks to ensure the previously noted seepage was fully rectified.
