2013 Toyota Aygo 1.0L Petrol · SC13 AEA

The most recent MOT test in March 2024 at 75,914 miles returned a clean pass with no defects, indicating the vehicle met all roadworthiness standards at that point. The maintenance trend appears stable, with consecutive passes since 2020. The single failure in July 2020 at 39,860 miles recorded no defects, which is unusual and may reflect a clerical error or a minor issue rectified before the pass on the same day. Overall, the history suggests no recurring mechanical or structural problems. The recorded mileage of 75,914 miles over 13 years gives an average of roughly 5,840 miles per year, which is low for the vehicle's age. However, the mileage pattern is inconsistent. From July 2020 to August 2022, the car covered only about 2,500 miles, indicating very light use or periods of standing. Then, between August 2022 at 42,363 miles and March 2024 at 75,914 miles, it accumulated over 33,000 miles in 19 months. This sharp increase suggests a change to heavy, possibly motorway-based, use. Such a rapid mileage jump can accelerate wear on consumables and drivetrain components. Despite the clean MOT record, a buyer should conduct a thorough in-person inspection. The recent high mileage means tyres, brake discs, and pads may be nearing replacement. At 13 years old, structural corrosion is a key risk, particularly on the subframe, suspension components, and exhaust system. The lack of advisories does not guarantee freedom from hidden issues like worn suspension bushes or binding calipers, which can develop between tests. A professional pre-purchase inspection is strongly recommended to assess the condition of these age-related and mileage-sensitive parts.
