2010 Toyota Aygo 1.0L Petrol · WJ60 VKT

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a pattern of reactive repairs rather than proactive upkeep. While the most recent test in October 2025 at 68,444 miles passed, a persistent oil leak remains a noted defect alongside the offside front headlamp. This oil leak has been a consistent feature since at least 2023, suggesting a slow-forming seal or gasket-related issue that has not been addressed. The overall trend is stable in terms of passing, but the vehicle frequently fails initial tests due to wear-related components and exhaust leaks. The mileage profile is notably low for a sixteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,300 miles per year. However, there is a significant anomaly in the records between October 2022 and November 2023, where the mileage dropped from 76,343 miles to 66,778 miles. This reversal of 9,500 miles suggests either a clerical error in the database or a re-written odometer. Such low-mileage use often leads to rubber-component dry rot, which is evidenced by the 2020 and 2022 failures regarding perished and cracked tyres despite the low distance travelled. Suspension and exhaust components show recurring weaknesses that indicate the car is aging faster than its mileage suggests. The 2022 failure was particularly telling, flagging deteriorated ball joint dust covers, worn suspension bushes, and multiple exhaust leaks. Although the 2023 failure regarding anti-roll bar linkages was rectified, the front-end geometry remains a point of concern. A buyer should inspect the entire front suspension for play in the bushes and check the exhaust system for corrosion or structural thinning, as the history of multiple engine management light faults in 2018 and 2020 also indicates intermittent sensor or electronic issues that require monitoring.
