2011 Toyota Aygo 1.0L Petrol · YP61 WNX

The maintenance trend for this 2011 Toyota Aygo is worsening, and the vehicle currently holds an expired MOT certificate, as the January 2025 pass lapsed five months ago. The January 2025 test initially failed due to excessively worn anti-roll bar linkage ball joints on both front sides, alongside corroded rear brake pipes and inoperative lighting. Although the tester passed the retest on the same day, the underlying advisories for front brake disc wear, rear brake pipe corrosion, and a perishing nearside front tyre remained unresolved. This pattern indicates a recent decline in basic upkeep, moving from a clean record in 2024 to multiple mechanical and lighting defects within a single year. The recorded mileage of 101,873 miles equates to roughly 6,792 miles per year, a typical figure for a 15-year-old city car. The history shows a steady accumulation, climbing from 89,195 miles in December 2021 to 100,046 miles by June 2023, and reaching 101,873 miles in January 2025. The 1,174-mile gap between the June 2023 and March 2024 tests suggests a period of very light use or potential standing, yet the mechanical failures recorded in early 2025 imply the vehicle suffered from neglected maintenance rather than high mileage wear alone. A prospective buyer must inspect the front suspension closely, specifically the anti-roll bar linkages, which were flagged as excessively worn during the January 2025 failure. The tester also noted pitted and scored front brake discs, a recurring advisory since June 2023 that remains unaddressed. Corroded rear brake pipes represent a significant structural and hydraulic risk, particularly given the grease covering noted by the tester, which can trap moisture against the metal. The perishing nearside front tyre requires immediate replacement, and the rear brake pipe corrosion demands a thorough underbody inspection to assess the extent of any rust compromising the vehicle's structural integrity and braking system.
