2014 Toyota Aygo 1.0L Petrol · YN14 VAA

The 2014 Toyota Aygo presents as roadworthy following its most recent MOT pass on 7 August 2025 at 54,170 miles, with the maintenance trend appearing stable across the recorded history. The August 2025 test cycle shows a pass and a prior fail on the same date at identical mileage, yet the DVSA record lists no defects against either outcome. A similar pattern occurred on 7 August 2023 at 41,351 miles, where a fail preceded a pass with no advisories logged. Such paired fail-pass entries with zero recorded defects typically indicate administrative re-tests rather than mechanical rectification, and the absence of any advisories across five years suggests consistent baseline condition. Annual mileage sits at roughly 4,514 per year against the vehicle's twelve-year life, a low figure for its age. The odometer moved from 41,351 miles in August 2023 to 48,409 miles in August 2024, then to 54,170 miles by August 2025, equating to approximately 7,000 and 5,700 miles in the respective intervals. This is a mild uplift from the long-term average but shows no abrupt accumulation. The sparse, clean record gives little evidence of neglected consumables or deferred structural care, though low use combined with the same-day fail-pass anomalies warrants confirmation of why those tests were initially rejected. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the Aygo's age and the potential for corrosion on older lightweight structures. The MOT data flags no binding calipers, exhaust emissions failures, or structural integrity concerns, yet the same-day failures in 2023 and 2025 remain unexplained without defect codes. Verify the V5C and DVSA test certificates to confirm those entries were administrative rather than concealed faults. Given the low annual mileage, check for perishing rubber components and flat-spotted tyres from prolonged standing. The record implies a previous owner who kept the car lightly used and passed every recorded annual test, but the unexplained fail entries mean a physical check of underside corrosion and brake condition remains prudent before purchase.
