2007 Toyota Aygo 1.0L Petrol · WG56 VRY

The 2007 Toyota Aygo’s most recent MOT test on 2025-10-07 confirms it remains roadworthy at 123,988 miles, with no defects or advisories recorded. This reflects a stable maintenance pattern over the past two years, though the history includes two consecutive retests in 2023 and 2024—both at identical mileages—suggesting minor, repeatable issues were resolved without structural or safety-critical failures. The absence of advisories in the latest test implies no ongoing concerns with suspension bushes, coil springs, or binding calipers, which are common wear points for this model age. However, the retests indicate a tendency for low-level faults, likely related to consumables like brake pads or tyres, rather than major mechanical degradation. The vehicle’s mileage progression averages around 6,500 miles annually, a typical rate for a car of this age. There are no significant gaps between tests, and the 7,208 miles between the 2023 and 2024 tests aligns with standard servicing intervals. The retests at identical mileages in both years—108,805 and 116,780—suggest the same issues recurred, possibly due to neglect of basic upkeep rather than accelerated wear. This pattern does not indicate aggressive driving or prolonged neglect, but it does warrant scrutiny of components prone to gradual failure, such as brake discs and suspension linkages. A buyer should prioritise an in-person inspection of the brake system, particularly the rear calipers and discs, given the retests may have stemmed from worn pads or uneven wear. The suspension should be checked for worn bushes, especially at the rear, where binding is a frequent issue in this model. Corrosion at wheel arches, sills, and the subframe is another critical area, as it can compromise structural integrity over time. Tyre tread depth and uniformity should also be verified, as the repeated failures in prior tests suggest this was a recurring concern. Finally, the exhaust system should be examined for leaks or excessive rust, which could indicate underlying corrosion or damage. While the MOT record shows no major failures, these areas demand thorough verification.
