2007 Toyota Aygo 1.0L Petrol · SH57 PUF

The vehicle presents a concerning roadworthiness profile characterized by a history of structural degradation and reactive maintenance. While it passed its last MOT in November 2023 at 98,641 miles, this followed a failure just three days prior that revealed multiple defects. The maintenance trend appears unstable, as the owner only seems to address faults upon a test failure rather than performing preventative care. The vehicle has not undergone a test for over two years, meaning the current state of its mechanical and structural components is entirely unverified. At 19 years old, the recorded mileage of 98,641 miles represents a low average of approximately 5,200 miles per year. This low usage often correlates with the accelerated corrosion seen in the record, as vehicles sitting stationary frequently. Between October 2021 and October 2022, the car covered roughly 7,000 miles, yet it suffered a critical structural failure involving a weakened front sub-frame. This suggests that the low mileage has not protected the chassis from environmental rust or age-related material fatigue. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the front sub-frame, as the 2022 failure for serious weakening indicates a high risk of recurring structural corrosion. The record also highlights persistent issues with brake pipe corrosion across all corners from 2021, which requires close scrutiny for thinning metal or leaks. Furthermore, the 2023 failure regarding a deteriorated offside front CV boot and rear axle bushes indicates that rubber components and drivetrain seals should be checked for further cracking or grease leakage. Given the long gap since the last test, the current condition of the exhaust system and tyres must also be verified to ensure no new leaks or hazardous wear have developed.
