2008 Toyota Aygo 1.0L Petrol · WN08 EHS

The most recent MOT test conducted on 28 November 2025 resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. Reviewing the history back to 2022, the vehicle has maintained a remarkably consistent and clean record, passing five consecutive tests without a single failure or advisory. This indicates a very stable maintenance trend and suggests that the vehicle has been kept in a roadworthy condition, avoiding the typical cumulative degradation often seen in city cars of this vintage. With a recorded mileage of 91,357 miles over approximately 18 years, the vehicle has averaged roughly 5,075 miles per year. This is significantly lower than the typical UK annual average, suggesting the car has been used for light duties or has experienced extended periods of standing. While low mileage generally implies less mechanical wear on the engine and drivetrain, it can introduce specific risks associated with under-use, such as the degradation of rubber components and the potential for moisture accumulation within the oil and exhaust systems. Given the absence of MOT advisories and the low annual usage, the buyer should focus on age-related deterioration rather than high-mileage wear. It is essential to inspect the tyre sidewalls for hairline cracking or perishing, as tyres often reach the end of their safe service life due to age before the tread is worn. The braking system requires close scrutiny to ensure there are no binding calipers or excessive surface corrosion on the brake discs, both of which are common in vehicles that stand for long periods. Additionally, the 12V battery health should be verified, as infrequent cycling can lead to premature failure. Attention must also be paid to calendar-based maintenance regardless of the low mileage. The buyer should verify the service book to ensure engine oil, coolant, and brake fluid have been replaced at the recommended intervals, as these fluids degrade chemically over time. During a test drive, listen for any suspension clunks or knocks that might indicate perished rubber bushes or coil spring corrosion. Finally, a physical inspection of the underbody is advised to check for structural corrosion, which can occur even on low-mileage vehicles if they have been stored in damp environments or exposed to road salt.
