2008 Toyota Aygo 1.0L Petrol · YT08 ABU

The vehicle maintains a clean MOT record, indicating a stable and reliable mechanical status as of the most recent pass on 19 November 2025. The transition from a test failure on 17 November 2025 to a pass just two days later suggests a minor administrative or easily rectified issue rather than a systemic mechanical fault, as no defects were recorded during either inspection. The absence of advisories across the last four tests demonstrates consistent upkeep and suggests that the vehicle has been well-maintained despite its age. At 103,409 miles over an 18-year lifespan, the vehicle averages approximately 5,745 miles per annum, which is well below the national average for a car of this vintage. The mileage accumulation has remained steady, with roughly 6,000 miles added between the July 2023 test at 97,330 miles and the November 2025 test. This pattern indicates regular, light usage rather than prolonged periods of inactivity, which is generally favourable for the longevity of seals, gaskets, and engine internals. Prospective buyers should focus their physical inspection on the structural integrity of the chassis and subframes, as 18-year-old Toyota Aygo models are prone to corrosion in these areas. While the MOT history is clean, surface rust may be developing in hidden cavities or around suspension mounting points that the test does not always highlight. Verify the condition of the clutch and gearbox, as these are common wear items on this platform, and check for any signs of oil seepage around the engine block. Given the lack of recent advisories, the vehicle appears to be in a sound condition, but a thorough check of the exhaust system and brake lines for age-related degradation remains prudent.
