Pre-MOT Inspection Checklist for Toyota Aygo Jbl Owners

These checks follow this Toyota Aygo Jbl's own most-recorded failure strings, starting with what a tester is most likely to flag on a Toyota Aygo Jbl.

  • the wipers and washers — “wipers does not clear the windscreen effectively”

    Run the wipers with the screen wet: they should clear it in one sweep without smearing or juddering. Top the washer bottle up and check both jets hit the screen.

  • the brakes — “brake pads less than 1.5 mm thick”

    Look through the spokes of each wheel at the pad — less than 3mm of friction material, or a lip on the disc edge, is the usual failure. Check the handbrake holds on a slope with a few clicks, not at the top of its travel.

  • the shock absorbers — “shock absorbers has a serious fluid leak”

    Press down hard on each corner of the car and let go. It should settle in one bounce; if it keeps rocking, or you can see oil weeping down a shock absorber, that is the fault a tester will find.

Derived from the DVSA failure strings testers recorded for the Toyota Aygo Jbl. A check that finds nothing means the item is likely fine, not that the test is guaranteed.
