2012 Toyota Aygo 1.0L Petrol · SL12 PVE

The vehicle is currently unroadworthy and exhibits a rapidly worsening trend in structural and mechanical condition. While it passed in June 2025, the most recent test on 3 June 2026 at 77,881 miles revealed critical failures regarding structural integrity. The transition from noted corrosion in 2024 to a seriously weakened front sub-frame and failed suspension mounting points in 2026 indicates an acceleration of metal decay that has now moved beyond the point of simple surface treatment. At 14 years old, the mileage of 77,881 miles represents a low annual average of approximately 5,563 miles. However, this low-use profile has not protected the vehicle from environmental damage. Between April 2024 (68,893 miles) and June 2026 (77,881 miles), the car covered under 9,000 miles, during which the structural components deteriorated from minor corrosion to major failure. This suggests the vehicle has likely suffered from age and neglect rather than mechanical wear and tear. A buyer must prioritise a thorough physical inspection of the entire chassis, focusing on the sub-frame and rear axle mount areas where the tester found significant structural thinning. The braking system shows a history of neglect, with binding calipers, lagging brakes, and corroded pipes appearing across multiple tests since at least 2024. Furthermore, the recurring exhaust lambda failures and the power steering warning lamp suggest underlying engine or electrical issues that remain unaddressed despite multiple MOT attempts.
