2018 Toyota Aygo 1.0L Petrol · YP18 AAV

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2026-03-06 at 22,527 miles recorded a pass with no defects, but the preceding test on 2026-03-05 at the same mileage resulted in a fail without recorded issues. This inconsistency suggests potential administrative errors or unrecorded minor faults. Previous tests from 2025 and 2024 showed consistent passes at lower mileages, indicating no significant mechanical decline. The absence of defects in all tests implies the car has met legal standards, though the repeated fail-pass cycle raises questions about testing accuracy or unaddressed minor concerns. The vehicle’s mileage of 22,527 miles over eight years equates to an average of 2,816 miles annually, well below typical usage. The 2024-03-04 test at 18,335 miles and 2025-03-18 at 20,229 miles show gradual increases, but no rapid accumulation. This low mileage may reflect infrequent use or prolonged storage, which can lead to issues like battery degradation or fluid stagnation. The MOT records lack details on such factors, leaving gaps in assessing long-term wear beyond what is legally required. A physical inspection should focus on components prone to inactivity-related wear, such as suspension bushes, brake calipers, and exhaust corrosion. The lack of recorded defects does not preclude hidden issues, particularly in areas not tested during MOTs, like steering alignment or engine internal components. Buyers should verify service history for maintenance addressing potential storage-related problems and check for signs of rust or fluid leaks, which may not appear in MOT records.
