2016 Toyota Aygo 1.0L Petrol · YA16 AEE

Overall roadworthiness appears sound. The most recent test on 17 March 2026 at 53,850 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, confirming a stable maintenance trend across the vehicle's life. Prior examinations in April 2025 at 51,950 miles and March 2024 at 49,804 miles also yielded passes with clean sheets. The sole anomaly sits in the duplicate 25 March 2024 entry where a failure was logged at identical mileage with no defects cited, pointing to an administrative irregularity rather than mechanical concern. That consistent pass record indicates prior keepers adhered to statutory testing discipline despite the puzzling failure flag. The Aygo displays consistently low annual usage for a ten-year-old car. From the 11 April 2023 test at 47,047 miles, distance crept to 49,804 miles by March 2024, then 51,950 miles by April 2025, reaching 53,850 miles by March 2026. That equates to roughly 2,000 to 2,800 miles added each year, well below national averages. Such restrained accumulation implies gentle urban commuting, though prolonged standing periods common with low mileage can permit corrosion or perished rubber components unseen in test data. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection despite the unblemished MOT ledger. The tester never flagged suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs or structural rust, yet age and intermittent use may disguise incipient degradation. Examine subframes and sills for corrosion, verify brake calipers move freely without binding, and assess tyre sidewalls for cracking from static storage. The absence of advisories does not exempt the car from consumable wear on wiper blades or flexible hoses.
