2018 Toyota Aygo 1.0L Petrol · WU18 GYK

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend indicates a reactive approach to repairs rather than preventative care. The most recent test on 22 December 2025 at 58,352 miles showed a failure due to incorrect headlamp aim and tyre defects. While the car passed immediately upon retest, the presence of a cut nearside rear tyre and an offside rear nail suggests the owner only addresses tyre issues when forced by an MOT failure. The mileage pattern is consistent with an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,300 miles per year. There is a clear gap of 14,295 miles between the December 2023 test (29,410 miles) and the December 2024 test (43,705 miles). This steady accumulation suggests regular use. However, the 2024 advisory noted three tyres were close to the legal limit with uneven edge wear, indicating a potential neglect in monitoring consumables between service intervals. A buyer should physically inspect the wheel alignment and suspension components, as the uneven tyre wear noted in 2024 often points to tracking issues or worn suspension bushes. The December 2025 failure also highlighted a damaged nearside front wheel rim, which should be checked for structural cracks or bends affecting tyre pressure. Given the previous failure for ineffective wipers in 2023, verify the blade condition and motor tensioning to ensure visibility remains adequate in poor weather.
