2011 Toyota Aygo 1.0L Petrol · YR61 LDN

The Toyota Aygo remains roadworthy, having passed the most recent MOT on 30 May 2025 at 78,740 miles, yet the maintenance trend reveals an ageing vehicle with accumulating advisories rather than a worsening mechanical decline. The tester recorded multiple tyre perishing, front brake disc wear, a minor exhaust gas leak and a broken front exhaust hanger, but no failure items. Previous suspension failures in 2023 and 2024 were corrected within days, indicating the former keeper addressed serious faults promptly. The recorded mileage of 78,740 over roughly fifteen years equates to a low average of 5,249 miles per year. The available MOT data begins in June 2023 at 71,900 miles and shows only 6,840 miles added by May 2025, a reduced annual rate near 3,400 miles. Such low usage suggests light running or extended standing periods, which correlates with the tyre sidewall cracking and strut corrosion flagged later. No rapid accumulation or suspicious gaps appear within the supplied records, though history before 2023 is absent. A buyer should physically examine the front Macpherson strut towers for corrosion, as the offside unit was seriously weakened in the June 2023 failure and the nearside still carried an advisory weeks later. Suspension ball joints and anti-roll bar links demanded replacement in June 2024 after excessive wear; verify the work with proof and check for play in the track rod end that remained advisory. The front brake discs showed pitting at the last test and warrant measurement for thickness and run-out. Tyres on all rear corners and offside front exhibit perishing since 2024, a sign of age rather than mileage, so inspect sidewalls for cracking before purchase. The rear exhaust leak and broken central hanger persist from 2024 into 2025, implying deferred minor repairs. The front number plate deterioration also recurs, pointing to casual upkeep. These patterns suggest the previous keeper attended to safety-critical failures but neglected consumable aesthetics and small exhaust faults.
