2016 Toyota Aygo 1.0L Petrol · SW65 LJC

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a shift toward degrading rubber components and structural corrosion. While the most recent test in January 2026 at 22,391 miles passed, it carried forward multiple advisories that were present in the previous year. The transition from a clean record in 2024 to a series of mechanical and age-related defects suggests the vehicle is beginning to show signs of age due to time-based wear rather than high usage. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 2,239 miles per year. Between the January 2023 test at 15,613 miles and the January 2026 test at 22,391 miles, the car covered only 6,778 miles over three years. This low usage explains the recurring issues with the rear tyres in 2025 and 2026, as rubber perishes and cracks when stationary for long periods despite having sufficient tread depth. A buyer must physically inspect the front sub-frame to assess the progression of the corrosion noted in both 2025 and 2026. Although the tester noted it was not seriously weakened, the persistence of this fault across multiple tests indicates an active process that requires close monitoring. The front anti-roll bar pins and bushes have been flagged as worn for two consecutive years, suggesting the suspension components are nearing the point of needing replacement to prevent play or noise. The braking history shows a failure in early 2024 due to a significantly worn offside front brake disc, which was evidently addressed immediately before the subsequent pass. Given the low mileage, the buyer should check for surface pitting on the discs, which often occurs from lack of use. The rear tyres require immediate attention as the 2026 advisory for cracking and perishing indicates the material has lost its structural integrity regardless of the low mileage.
