2014 Toyota Aygo 1.0L Petrol · WN14 TEO

The DVSA MOT history for this 2014 Toyota Aygo presents an exceptionally clean roadworthiness profile, with five consecutive tests showing no advisories or defects recorded. The most recent test on 24 September 2025 followed immediately after a failure on 23 September 2025, but neither entry documents any specific defects, suggesting the earlier failure was either an administrative or minor issue resolved within a day rather than a substantive mechanical concern. Across tests spanning from February 2022 through September 2025, the vehicle has consistently met all roadworthiness standards without any flagged component wear, corrosion, or developing concerns. This unbroken pattern of defect-free passes is a strong indicator of sound mechanical condition for a twelve-year-old city car. With 73,934 miles recorded against a 2014 manufacture date, this Aygo has averaged approximately 6,161 miles annually, which sits squarely within typical usage expectations for a vehicle of this class and age. The mileage progression between tests reflects a steady, moderate accumulation rather than any rapid spikes or extended periods off the road, suggesting the vehicle has been in regular service without long lay-ups that can accelerate deterioration of rubber components, brake systems, or underbody corrosion. A continuous testing history with no significant gaps further supports a pattern of consistent use, which generally allows mechanical systems to remain functional and primed rather than suffering the dry-out and seizure issues that afflict stored vehicles. For a small-engined, light-weight supermini, this mileage level is well within the expected lifespan of major components. Despite the absence of recorded advisories, a prospective buyer should still conduct a focused physical inspection concentrating on the areas most prone to wear in a vehicle of this age and mileage. The suspension should be examined for wear in the front lower wishbone bushes, anti-roll bar drop links, and rear axle beam bushes, which commonly develop play on Aygos of this generation and can produce clonking noises over speed bumps or a vague, wandering sensation at speed. The steering rack mounting bushes are another known weakness that can cause knocking when traversing uneven road surfaces. On a test drive, listen for any thuds or creaks from the front suspension over potholes, and feel for any steering vibration or pulling that might indicate worn components not yet flagged at MOT. Brake-related components warrant particular attention during inspection, as the front discs and pads on a vehicle of this mileage may be approaching their replacement threshold even without advisory entries. Check for lipping on the front disc edges and any scoring visible through the wheel spokes, and verify that the rear drum brake mechanisms are functioning correctly with no binding or incomplete release. The exhaust system, particularly the rear mounting rubbers and the section near the heat shield, should be inspected for corrosion given the vehicle's age, and a listen for any blowing sounds or rattles at idle will reveal early-stage exhaust degradation. Finally, inspect the underside and wheel arches for any surface corrosion beginning to develop on the rear axle beam and suspension arms, and check the engine for any signs of oil seepage from the cam cover gasket or oil filter housing, which are common areas on higher-mileage Aygo engines.
