2009 Toyota Aygo 1.0L Petrol · YC59 EEG

The vehicle remains roadworthy but the maintenance trend shows a clear shift towards age andrelated-related issues. In the most recent test in November 2025 at 62,684 miles, the tester identified corrosion on the front sub-frame and both rear brake pipes. While these did not cause a failure, they represent a progression from the minor surface rust noted in earlier years. The presence of grease on corroded pipes suggests that the vehicle's protective layers are beginning to degrade despite the low mileage. At 17 years old, the recorded mileage of 62,684 miles is exceptionally low, averaging approximately 3,700 miles per year. This low usage is consistent across the decade, for example, only 4,057 miles were covered between November 2024 and November 2025. However, this low mileage has correlated with age-related degradation of rubber components. The record shows recurring perishing and cracking of tyres since 2022, indicating that the rubber is failing due to time rather than tread wear from frequent driving. A buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the front sub-frame to ensure the corrosion noted in 2025 does not compromise structural integrity. The rear braking system requires close attention, as the history shows a pattern of binding calipers in 2024 and corroded piping in 2025. Additionally, the buyer should check all tyres for sidewall cracking, as the consistent history suggests the vehicle's rubber is prone to drying out due to lack of use. The exhaust system and brackets should also be examined, as corrosion has been flagged as a recurring issue since 2016.
