2006 Toyota Aygo 1.0L Petrol · SN06 AJK

The vehicle is currently not roadworthy; the most recent MOT on 28 May 2025 at 64 674 miles recorded a failure with several critical defects. The tester flagged front and rear brake pipes at imminent risk of fracture (1.1.11 (a)), a corroded front sub‑frame where structural rigidity is not yet significantly reduced (6.1.1 (c)(i)), and multiple rear integral body‑structure fractures that have already compromised rigidity at the sill and suspension mountains (6.1.1 (a)(i)). The offside front suspension locking device was missing (5.3.6 (b)). These findings indicate a deteriorating trend rather than improvement, as earlier tests in 2024 and 2023 showed only advisory corrosion on the same components. Mileage accumulation over the car’s life shows a low average of roughly 3 200 miles per year, which is modest for a 20‑year‑old model. The recorded figures, however, reveal irregular jumps: from 60 350 miles in November 2018 to 62 584 miles in November 2019 (+2 234 miles), a sharp rise to 79 708 miles in November 2020 (+17 124 miles), a drop to 74 074 miles in April 2022 (‑5 634 miles), then incremental increases to 97 310 miles in May 2024 (+20 800 miles), and finally a recorded 64 674 miles in May 2025 (a discrepancy that suggests odometer reset or data inconsistency). The pattern points to alternating periods of heavy use and prolonged storage, which can mask normal wear on tyres and consumables but does not halt corrosion progression on structural parts. A prospective buyer should inspect the brake system thoroughly, checking both front and rear brake pipes for signs of imminent failure, and verifying that the discs and pads are not excessively worn. The front sub‑frame and rear sill must be examined for corrosion and any loss of structural rigidity; the rear integral body panels at the suspension mountains should be inspected for cracks or fractures. Suspension components, including the rear coil springs and mounting bolts, need close scrutiny for corrosion and the presence of the locking device. Finally, a visual check of the exhaust hanger, subframe rust, and any rust‑stained areas around the brake lines will reveal the extent of long‑term corrosion that the MOT history already highlights.
