2019 Toyota Aygo 1.0L Petrol · YG19 MBX

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a recurring mechanical trend regarding the braking system. While the most recent test in August 2025 at 49,097 miles was a pass, the rear brakes only met the legal requirements with a 33% imbalance. This mirrors a previous failure in August 2023 at 33,938 miles where the imbalance was even tighter at 31%. The persistence of this issue suggests that the underlying cause of the uneven braking is not being fully addressed, merely managed between inspections. The mileage profile is remarkably consistent for a seven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,000 miles per annum. Between the August 2022 test at 22,182 miles and the August 2024 test at 41,814 miles, the car covered roughly 9,800 miles, indicating a steady pattern of light use. There is no evidence of long periods of abandonment or sudden spikes in mileage, which generally correlates with predictable wear on components such as rubber hoses, seals, and suspension bushings. A buyer should specifically inspect the rear brake assembly for signs of seized calipers, worn wheel cylinders, or corroded drums. Given that the imbalance has appeared across two separate tests, a professional mechanical check is necessary to ensure the pistons are retracting freely and the hardware is clean. It is also advisable to check the condition of the tyres for flat spotting, as the low-mileage usage can sometimes lead to rubber degradation despite adequate tread depth.
