2014 Toyota Aygo 1.0L Petrol · SC14 NGJ

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend indicates a shift toward reactive rather than proactive upkeep. While it passed its most recent test in July 2025 at 92,487 miles, it failed just one day prior due to multiple safety-critical defects. The transition from a clean record in 2024 to a multi-point failure in 2025 suggests that components were only addressed once they reached the point of legal non-compliance. At 92,487 miles over twelve years, the Toyota Aygo has averaged approximately 7,700 miles per year, which aligns with typical UK usage patterns for a small city car. The record shows consistent annual testing between 2022 and 2025, with a mileage increase of roughly 7,800 miles between the July 2024 and 2025 tests. This steady usage suggests the vehicle has not sat for long periods, though the relatively low annual mileage means it is subject to age-related degradation of rubber components and mechanical seals. A buyer must specifically inspect the front braking system and wheel assemblies. The July 2025 failure flagged brake pads thinner than 1.5mm and worn discs, indicating the front friction material was at the end of its service life. The noisy offside front wheel bearing noted in the same period is a mechanical fault that requires replacement to prevent eventual seizure or excessive vibration. The excessive wear on the brake lever pivot also points to mechanical fatigue in the handbrake mechanism that should be checked for secure engagement and smooth operation. The 2023 advisory regarding a nearside front tyre worn on the edge suggests potential alignment issues or worn suspension bushes that should be verified. While no structural corrosion has been highlighted in the history, a physical inspection of the underbody for rust is standard practice for a vehicle of this age. Given the recent failure for lighting and braking components, the buyer should confirm that all repairs following the July 2025 failure were carried out to a professional standard rather than as temporary fixes.
