2012 Toyota Aygo 1.0L Petrol · YP62 PYZ

The vehicle fails its most recent MOT on 15 January 2024 at 57,336 miles, with eight distinct faults ranging from non‑functional windscreen washer to corroded front brake discs. Compared with the clean pass in October 2019, the defect list has grown and now includes recurring exhaust‑mounting and brake‑pipe corrosion, indicating a worsening maintenance trend. Across fourteen years the car has accumulated only 57,336 miles, roughly 4,100 miles per year – well below the average for a 2012 model. Mileage rose from 49,580 miles in November 2020 to 52,807 miles in October 2021, a modest 3,200‑mile increase in eleven months, then jumped to 56,601 miles by December 2022, adding 3,800 miles in just over a year. The final 735‑mile gain to the January 2024 test suggests the vehicle has been driven sparingly since the last pass, leaving little wear evidence beyond the recorded faults. A prospective buyer should verify that the windscreen washer system, hazard warning switch and indicator switch are repaired and operate correctly, as these were flagged as inoperative in the latest test. The front suspension should be inspected for surface corrosion and the anti‑roll bar link bush, both noted as deteriorated, while the brake discs require cleaning or replacement to remove corrosion. The exhaust system, which has been recorded as insecure or defective on three occasions (2020, 2022, 2024), must be examined for mounting integrity and rust. Finally, tyre tread edges were close to the legal limit in December 2022; confirming current tyre depth and overall condition will complete the assessment.
