Toyota Aygo: brakes MOT failures
Of the 1,428,093 Toyota Aygo MOT tests in this dataset, 6.3% recorded at least one brakes failure. It shows up most on 2008 and 2009 cars.
Pads/discs are routine wear; binding, imbalance or corroded pipes are more serious — test for pulling under braking. Typical repair cost: £100–£350 per axle (rough UK ballpark, not a quote).
