Our Verdict
This is a sensibly priced, low-mileage city car with a clean MOT record since the single initial failure was rectified. The only real niggles are the expected wear items flagged in 2024, so if the price reflects those, it's a solid buy. We'd recommend a pre-purchase inspection focused on brakes and tyres before committing.
Focus your haggling on the items flagged in the 2024 MOT. Front brake pads were down to 2mm then, and at just over 20,000 miles, they are likely to have been replaced since — but do not assume so. Ask the seller for proof of brake and tyre replacement, and check the offside front tyre for any uneven wear that might indicate tracking or pressure issues. The TPMS failure in 2024 should also be checked: verify the warning light works and that all four sensors are operating correctly, since a faulty sensor can be a minor but annoying cost.
The Aygo's 1.0-litre triple is one of the most economical engines on the market, with real-world fuel economy in the mid-to-high 50s mpg achievable in mixed driving. Road tax will be low — a 2021 petrol Aygo typically falls in a low VED band — and insurance is cheap, usually in group 1 to 4. Combined with low servicing costs, the annual running cost for this car is modest: roughly £800 to £1,000 for a driver covering 8,000 miles a year, excluding depreciation.
Given the MOT advisories, inspect the front brake pads and discs first. If they have not been replaced, you are looking at a bill of £150-£250 for the set. Also check the offside front tyre tread depth and condition — it was near the legal limit in 2024, so it may have been changed, but if not, budget for a new tyre. The tyre pressure monitoring system should be tested by inflating a tyre to the correct pressure and confirming the warning light goes out after a few minutes of driving.
This 2021 Toyota Aygo has covered 28,779 miles by January 2026, which is around 5,800 miles per year — below the UK average for a five-year-old car. Its MOT history shows one failure in February 2024 for a tyre pressure monitoring system fault, but this was rectified on the same day and the car has passed every subsequent test. Advisories at that time included front brake pads at 2mm, slightly worn front discs, and a near-limit offside front tyre, so some brake and tyre work should be anticipated shortly. As a 998cc Euro 6 petrol city car in white, it offers genuinely low running costs and should be very competitive in the used microcar market.
No aggregate MOT data is available for the Toyota Aygo in this report, so we cannot provide a statistical reliability comparison. However, the history of this individual car shows no structural, suspension, or engine-related failures, which is a good sign for a low-stress city car.
