2010 Toyota Aygo 1.0L Petrol · SM10 EVC

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history reveals a pattern of significant structural degradation and mechanical neglect. While the most recent test in August 2025 at 77,640 miles passed without defects, this result followed a critical failure just three weeks prior. The failure in July 2025 identified a major exhaust leak and a seriously weakened front sub-frame due to corrosion, indicating the vehicle reached a point where structural integrity was at risk before repairs were addressed to secure the subsequent re-test. At 77,640 miles, the mileage is significantly lower than the national average for a 16-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,850 miles per year. This low usage often correlates with the accelerated corrosion-related issues seen in this record. Between July 2023 and July 2025, the car covered only 7,187 miles, suggesting it may have sat for long periods or used infrequently, which frequently leads to the excessive corrosion of brake pipes and binding of mechanical components noted in the inspection history. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the chassis to ensure the repairs to the front sub-frame and outer sills are structurally sound and not merely cosmetic patches. The 2023 failure highlighted extensive corrosion across all brake pipes and the structural sills, which requires close scrutiny for weeping rust or thinning metal in these specific areas. Additionally, the parking brake efficiency and the exhaust system should be verified, as the record shows a history of recurring brake failures and recent exhaust leaks despite the low mileage.
