2008 Toyota Aygo 1.0L Petrol · WM08 BXH

This 2008 Toyota Aygo presents a stable and recently improving roadworthiness profile. The most recent test on 28 August 2025 at 85,848 miles resulted in a clean pass with zero defects, following a same-day retest after a simple nearside headlamp bulb failure. That outcome, combined with the 2023 and 2024 results, shows the vehicle is currently in sound working order with no outstanding mechanical or structural concerns. The mileage pattern tells a clear story of very light use. Between the 2022 test at 66,857 miles and the 2023 test at 73,041 miles, the car covered roughly 6,184 miles in under eleven months. However, from September 2023 to August 2025, a gap of nearly two years, the odometer moved only from 73,041 to 85,848 miles, averaging around 6,400 miles per year across that period. The annualised figure of approximately 4,769 miles over the vehicle's full life is well below the UK average of 7,000 to 8,000 miles. This low-mileage profile reduces wear on drivetrain and suspension components but raises the possibility of prolonged standing, which can cause flat-spotted tyres, seized brake calipers, and stale fuel system issues worth checking during a test drive. The recurring advisory and failure items point to two areas that deserve close inspection. Exhaust corrosion appeared in both 2022 and 2023, and while the 2025 clean pass suggests the system may have been replaced, a buyer should still verify the underside for fresh welding patches or a recent aftermarket replacement. The rear coil springs were flagged as corroded in 2022, a common issue on vehicles of this age that can compromise ride height and MOT compliance if left unchecked. Front brake pads and discs were noted as wearing thin in 2022, so pad thickness and disc condition should be measured against manufacturer minimums. Tyre condition appeared as an advisory in 2023, and given the car's low annual mileage, the current set may be aged rather than worn, with sidewall perishing a more likely concern than tread depth. A thorough underbody inspection focusing on suspension mounting points, subframe corrosion, and brake component condition will give the clearest picture of long-term structural integrity.
