2016 Toyota Aygo 1.0L Petrol · VU66 DYA

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clear trend of improvement in maintenance standards. The most recent inspection conducted in April 2026 at 60,441 miles resulted in zero defects, indicating that the previous mechanical and cosmetic issues have been addressed. This represents a significant progression from the recorded faults seen in earlier years, suggesting the current ownership is proactive in rectifying defects flagged by the DVSA tester. The mileage pattern is consistent with a low-use city car, averaging approximately 6,000 miles per year. Records show a steady accumulation from 26,530 miles in September 2021 to 60,441 miles in April 2026, with no unexplained gaps in usage that would suggest long periods of neglect. This low annual mileage generally reduces the strain on the drivetrain and engine components, though it increases the likelihood of rubber-based parts perishing due to age rather than mechanical stress. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the condition of the tyres, as the history shows a recurring issue with perishing and damage between 2021 and 2023. The tester flagged multiple tyres for cracking and uneven wear during that period, implying that the vehicle may have sat stationary or suffered alignment issues. While the 2026 test was clean, a visual check of the sidewalls and tread depth remains necessary to ensure the previous degradation has not returned. The 2021 report of pitted front brake discs suggests that components were previously neglected, but the lack of subsequent brake failures indicates the system is currently holding. Given the age of the vehicle, an inspector should still check the chassis for corrosion, although the MOT record has not highlighted any structural integrity concerns. The overall data suggests a well-maintained example that has benefited from low annual mileage.
