2018 Toyota Aygo 1.0L Petrol · YR18 XSE

The 2018 Toyota Aygo presents a stable and improving maintenance trend, culminating in a completely clean MOT pass on 27 May 2026 at 57,153 miles with zero defects recorded. This is a significant improvement over the preceding years, where minor but consistent advisories appeared annually between 2022 and 2024. The trajectory suggests the previous owner addressed wear items proactively rather than allowing faults to escalate. The vehicle currently meets all DVSA roadworthiness standards with no outstanding concerns. The mileage accumulation of roughly 7,144 miles per year is entirely typical for an eight-year-old city car, indicating regular rather than excessive use. The annual test intervals show steady progression: 27,010 miles in March 2022, 33,600 in March 2023, 39,652 in March 2024, and 47,483 in March 2025. The gap between the March 2025 and May 2026 tests covers approximately 9,670 miles over fourteen months, which is slightly above the annual average but not alarming for a petrol engine of this size. No suspicious mileage gaps or rapid accumulation spikes appear in the record. The recurring advisories between 2022 and 2024 centred on two areas: front brake pad wear and rear tyre condition. Front brake pads were flagged as wearing thin in both March 2022 and March 2024, suggesting the pads were replaced sometime between those tests. Both rear tyres were repeatedly noted for cracking and perishing across three consecutive years, indicating the owner deferred replacement longer than ideal. A prospective buyer should physically inspect the remaining tread depth and sidewall integrity of all four tyres, particularly the rears, and verify the condition of the front brake discs for scoring or lipping. The rear brake setup and suspension bushes also warrant close examination, as repeated tyre degradation can point to misalignment or worn dampers. The clean 2026 result is encouraging, but a short test drive under braking and over uneven surfaces will confirm whether the underlying components remain sound.
