2018 Toyota Aygo 1.0L Petrol · SN68 VCD

The 2018 Toyota Aygo presents a clean and stable roadworthiness record. The most recent MOT, conducted on 2 December 2025 at 14,753 miles, passed with zero defects. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes stretching back to November 2022, indicating no recurring mechanical or structural faults have emerged over the past four test cycles. The maintenance trend is stable and reassuring, with no advisories or failures recorded across the entire available history. The mileage profile is notably low for an eight-year-old city car. Between the November 2022 test at 12,904 miles and the December 2025 test at 14,753 miles, the vehicle covered just 1,849 miles over a three-year span, averaging roughly 616 miles per year during that period. The earlier record shows a similar pattern, with only 749 miles added between November 2023 and November 2024. This suggests prolonged periods of minimal use, which raises different concerns than high mileage. Extended sitting can cause brake disc surface corrosion, tyre flat-spotting, and deterioration of rubber components such as suspension bushes and drive shaft gaiters due to lack of regular flexing and lubrication. Despite the clean MOT record, a buyer should still carry out a physical inspection focused on areas that MOT tests do not fully stress. Check the condition of the tyre sidewalls for perishing and cracking, as low-mileage vehicles often need replacement due to age rather than wear. Inspect the brake discs for surface corrosion and confirm the handbrake holds firmly on a slope, since infrequent use can lead to binding calipers or seized handbrake cables. Examine the suspension bushes and anti-roll bar links for perishing, and look underneath for any signs of structural corrosion on the subframe or mounting points, particularly if the car has been stored or used primarily in urban environments with road salt exposure. The clean MOT history is a strong positive, but the low and sporadic usage pattern means age-related deterioration deserves as much attention as mileage-related wear.
