2016 Toyota Aygo 1.0L Petrol · YR16 ACY

The latest MOT on 31 July 2026 returned a pass at 60,106 miles, yet it flagged slightly damaged or cracking rear and front tyres and a windscreen wiper that does not clear effectively. The record shows a recurring pattern of tyre surface degradation and intermittent wiper failure, while no new structural or emission defects have appeared since 2024. Overall the vehicle’s roadworthiness is acceptable, but the trend indicates persistent consumable wear rather than a worsening mechanical condition. Mileage has risen from 21,948 miles in March 2019 to 60,106 miles in July 2026, averaging roughly 6,000 miles per year. The incremental increases between each annual test are consistent, with no sudden spikes that would suggest heavy short‑term use. This low‑to‑moderate mileage for a ten‑year‑old Aygo aligns with typical usage patterns and does not raise concerns about accelerated component fatigue. A prospective buyer should give close attention to the tyre condition; the repeated notes of cracking, deep cuts and tread near the legal limit imply that all four tyres will likely need replacement soon. Verify that the windscreen wiper restores full clearing capability, as the defect has persisted across two years. Inspect the front lower suspension ball joints for any play or missing split pins, a fault that caused a failure in July 2025 but was cleared before the subsequent pass. Examine brake pads for thickness, given the thin‑pad advisory recorded in the same 2025 failure. Finally, conduct a visual check for any corrosion or rust on the chassis and suspension components, although no such issues have been recorded in the MOT history.
