2008 Toyota Aygo 1.0L Petrol · SW58 AEM

The 2008 Toyota Aygo last secured a clean MOT pass on 19 July 2023 at 83,813 miles, with the tester recording no defects. The DVSA log also shows a failed attempt on the same date at 83,812 miles, again with no defects listed, pointing to an administrative rejection rather than a mechanical fault. Across the five available tests from July 2021 to July 2023 the vehicle displayed a stable maintenance trend, with zero advisories or recurring wear items flagged. Mileage progression remains low for an eighteen-year-old car. The odometer read 72,189 miles at the 22 July 2021 test, rose to 75,801 miles by 18 July 2022, and reached 83,813 miles by 19 July 2023. That equates to 3,612 miles in the first interval and 8,012 miles in the second, the latter a slight uptick yet still consistent with the approximate 4,656-mile annual average derived from total recorded distance. The record is sparse and entirely free of corrosion, suspension, or brake concerns, offering a clean but limited window into upkeep. A buyer must recognise the most recent test expired on 19 July 2024, leaving the car untested for nearly two years as of today. Prolonged standing invites perished rubber components, seized brake calipers, and hidden structural corrosion despite the absent advisories. The unexplained fail-pass pairs on 18 July 2022 and 19 July 2023 warrant scrutiny of the V5C and MOT documentation to confirm no suppressed defects. In person, inspect front suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake disc condition for age-related degradation. Check exhaust emissions and underbody for rust, particularly around sills and subframes. The low mileage and clean history suggest light use, but the gap since 2023 means a fresh mechanical appraisal is essential before road use.
