AI-generated interpretation of this vehicle’s MOT record — not an official statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

The most recent MOT history shows a worsening trend in suspension component degradation. While the vehicle passed its test on 18 July 2026, the record shows it failed just four days earlier on 14 July 2026. The failure involved major defects regarding excessively worn front anti-roll bar linkage pins or bushes on both sides. The subsequent pass at the same mileage indicates these major faults were addressed, but the tester still flagged minor deterioration of the front lower suspension arm ball joint dust covers on both sides. The vehicle has covered 47,478 miles over its 13-year lifespan, averaging approximately 3,652 miles per year. This represents low annual usage. The MOT records show consistent annual testing from 21 October 2022 through to 17 October 2024, with a significant gap in recorded testing between 17 October 2024 and the July 2026 tests. This gap suggests the vehicle may have been off the road for a period or the testing frequency was not strictly annual during that interval. A prospective buyer should focus physical inspections on the front suspension assembly. The July 2026 results highlight specific issues with ball joint dust covers and anti-roll bar linkages. Although the major linkage issues were rectified to achieve the pass, the remaining minor advisory regarding the ball joint dust covers suggests that rubber components in the suspension are reaching the end of their service life. Checking for split boots or leaking grease in the steering and suspension joints is advisable to prevent future failures.

Our Verdict

Highly recommended for city drivers due to its exceptionally low mileage and remarkably clean MOT record. This Aygo represents a well-fended example of a reliable small city car.

When inspecting this specific vehicle, the primary selling point is the low mileage; ensure you verify that the service history reflects regular intervals, as low-mileage cars can sometimes suffer from neglected components if driven infrequently. Check the multi-colour paintwork for any previous repairs or fading, as contrasting finishes can be difficult to match perfectly.

Given the vehicle's age and mileage, check the condition of rubber components, such as suspension bushings and tyres, which can age and crack over time regardless of distance driven. Since the 2021 MOT noted pitted front brake discs, verify that these have since been replaced or are currently in good condition without vibration or noise.

The 998cc petrol engine is designed for maximum efficiency, likely placing it in a low tax band and insurance group. You can expect excellent fuel economy particularly in city driving, making it one of the more economical cars to run annually.

Typical maintenance costs for the Aygo are generally low due to the simple mechanical design and high availability of parts for this Toyota model. Estimated annual running costs, including fuel, modest tax, insurance, and routine servicing, are projected to be around £700-£1,000.

Pay close attention to the braking system; the 2021 MOT record showed front brake discs were worn and pitted, and while it has passed since, it is vital to ensure the current components are not showing similar wear. Also inspect the suspension arms, as aggregate data identifies them as a common failure point for this model across the UK.

Check the headlamps for clarity, as this is a frequent reason for MOT failure on the Aygo. Given the low mileage, also inspect the engine bay for any signs of leaks that might occur if the car has sat stationary for long periods between uses.

This 2013 Toyota Aygo has covered just 41,129 miles in thirteen years, which is significantly lower than the fleet average of 5,112 miles per year. The MOT history is consistently strong, showing four consecutive passes with only one minor advisory regarding front brake discs in 2021. With its 998cc engine, it is a low-cost-running option suited for urban commuting.

The Toyota Aygo is known for its mechanical simplicity, with aggregate data showing a high MOT pass rate across thousands of examples analysed.
