2013 Toyota Aygo 1.0L Petrol · SL13 DZT

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history reveals a worsening trend regarding structural corrosion. While it failed a test in October 2025 for excessive corrosion on the offside rear axle mount, it passed a re-test one week later at the same mileage. This suggests the specific structural failure was repaired or treated to bring it back to a legal standard. However, the presence of corrosion on both front Macpherson struts and the rear suspension mounting areas indicates that the chassis is beginning to suffer degradation. At 54,245 miles over 13 years, the car shows significantly low mileage, averaging approximately 4,173 miles per year. The usage pattern appears consistent between 2022 and 2025, with the mileage growing by roughly 4,000 miles annually. This low-frequency use often correlates with accelerated corrosion on components as the vehicle sits stationary for long periods, allowing moisture to settle on metal surfaces. This is evidenced by the recurring issues with brake pipes and suspension components throughout the four-year data history. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the underbody to assess the extent of the rust mentioned in the recent records. The tester flagged corroded rear brake pipes in both 2022 and 2025, suggesting the lines are thinning and may soon require total replacement. Attention should also be paid to the front suspension bushes and Macpherson strut mounts, as the October 2025 failure highlighted significant wear in these areas. The minor exhaust leaks noted in 2023 and 2024 should also be checked to ensure the leak has not progressed into a more structural failure of the manifold or system.
