2008 Toyota Aygo 1.0L Petrol · YY08 WVP

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history reveals a worsening trend in structural and suspension component degradation. While the most recent test in February 2026 at 136,038 miles resulted in a pass, it followed a failure just one day prior due to a bald tyre and a failed fog lamp. The presence of recurring corrosion across the coil springs and anti-roll bars over multiple years indicates that the vehicle is suffering from significant age-related oxidation that has not been proactively addressed through component replacement. At 136,038 miles over 18 years, the Aygo averages approximately 7,500 miles per year, which is consistent with typical usage for a city car. The data shows steady mileage accumulation of roughly 7,000 miles between the February 2024 and 2025 tests, and another 6,700 miles leading into the 2026 inspection. This regularity suggests the vehicle is used consistently rather than sitting for long periods, which explains the progressive wear on rubber components and metal surfaces. A buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the sills and structural integrity, as the tester has flagged corrosion in these areas since at least 2024. Although the records state structural rigidity is not yet reduced, the persistent corrosion on the nearside rear brake pipe and the exhaust system suggests a high-moisture environment or neglected cleaning. The nearside front suspension arm bushes, which were noted as worn in 2026, should be checked for play as this will affect handling and tyre wear. The braking system requires close attention because the offside rear service brake was flagged for excessive binding in 2025. Given the reported oil leak noted in that same test and the corroded brake pipes, a technician should verify the integrity of fluid lines and the condition of the calipers. The recurring defective headlamp lenses also suggest the plastic is becoming clouded or pitted, which has remained a persistent advisory issue for three consecutive years.
