2017 Toyota Aygo 1.0L Petrol · YY67 DRZ

The vehicle remains technically roadworthy but the maintenance trend shows a worsening condition regarding consumable rubber components. In the most recent test in September 2025 at 15,994 miles, the tester flagged cracking perishing across all four tyres alongside front tyres reaching the 3mm legal limit. This represents a progression from the 2024 and 2023 tests where only surface cracking was noted, indicating that the rubber is degrading despite the low annual mileage. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 1,777 miles per year. The data shows consistent annual usage, with a 2,630-mile interval between the September 2024 and September 2025 tests. While this low mileage typically suggests less wear on the drivetrain and suspension, the long intervals between uses have clearly led to age-related material failure. The vehicle has likely sat for extended periods, which is the primary cause of the tyre perishing observed in the record rather than mechanical tread wear. A buyer should prioritise inspecting the condition of all tyres before purchase, as the history suggests a pattern of neglecting basic rubber maintenance. Because the car is driven such short distances, the brakes are prone to corrosion and seizing due to lack of use. You must check the brake discs for heavy pitting and ensure the calipers are not binding. Additionally, inspect the underbody for surface rust, as low-mileage cars stored in damp environments often suffer from oxidation that high-mileage vehicles avoid through constant airflow.
