2007 Toyota Aygo 1.0L Petrol · SM57 WLH

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a pattern of reactive rather than preventative care. While the most recent test in February 2026 at 83,502 miles passed, it carried forward recurring advisories for corroded rear coil springs and a non-excessive engine oil leak. These issues have persisted since at least 2024, indicating that the owner is only addressing faults when they reach failure thresholds rather than replacing aging components ahead of time. At 19 years old, the recorded mileage of 83,502 miles is significantly low, averaging approximately 4,400 miles per year. This low usage explains the condition of certain rubber-based components, such as the cracking and perishing noted between 2024 and 2025. However, the low mileage has not prevented age-related degradation. The presence of corroded springs and perished brake hoses suggests the vehicle likely sits for long periods, as rubber components tend to dry out and metal over time regardless of the number of miles driven. A buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the rear suspension and structural integrity. The 2024 test flagged corrosion within 30cm of a chassis mounting, which while not a failure at the time, requires close monitoring to ensure the rust is not spreading. The front suspension also demands attention, given the history of worn bushes on anti-roll bar pins, arm pins, and Macpherson strut mounts. Additionally, the nearside front hydraulic caliper that leaked in January 2025 should be checked for any residual weeping to ensure the repair was effective.
