2010 Toyota Aygo 1.0L Petrol · SM59 TCJ

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history reveals a clear trend of worsening structural degradation. While it passed the most recent February 2026 test at 104,024 miles, the tester identified significant corrosion across multiple critical chassis points. The presence of front subframe corrosion and integral body structure rust, alongside a fully corroded rear axle, indicates that the vehicle is reaching a terminal stage. The covering of subframe mounting repairs with underseal suggests attempts to mask rather than treat underlying oxidation. The mileage pattern remains consistent with the vehicle's age, averaging approximately 6,500 miles per year over its 16-year lifespan. This reflects typical light usage, yet there is a notable three-year gap between the September 2022 and March 2025 tests, during which the car covered roughly 7,600 miles. While the low annual mileage generally reduces wear on drivetrain and engine components, it has not prevented the rapid progression of metal-related failures, which appear to be accelerated by storage in damp environments or exposure to salt-treated roads. A buyer must prioritize a thorough physical inspection of the entire underside and braking system. The record shows a recurring failure of corroded brake pipes dating back to 2020, with multiple front and rear lines flagged between 2022 and 2025. This suggests the systemic failure of the hydraulic lines is imminent. Furthermore, the structural integrity of the subframe mounts and the rear axle must be verified for thickness loss, as the 2026 report confirms deep corrosion is present in these areas. The risk of a structural failure in the near future is high given the current state of the body structure.
