Our Verdict
The 2011 Toyota Aygo offers good value for money but requires careful inspection due to a recent MOT failure. Its low mileage and reliable brand reputation make it a viable option for cautious buyers.
Prioritise a thorough mechanical inspection, focusing on the 998cc petrol engine and transmission. Verify service history to confirm maintenance consistency. Negotiate based on the 2024 MOT failure, though no defects were recorded. Check for rust or bodywork issues typical in older city cars. Be cautious of potential hidden costs from 15-year-old components.
The 998cc petrol engine offers decent fuel economy, likely around 50-60 mpg. As a 2011 model, it falls into a low tax band (£145/year for 2024-25). Insurance groups for small cars are typically low, though exact rates depend on driver details. Maintenance costs remain manageable for a Toyota, but older models may require repairs to ageing parts like the timing belt or suspension components. Estimated annual running costs: £800-£1,200.
Inspect the engine for unusual noises or oil leaks, common in older 1.0-litre petrol engines. Check the exhaust system for corrosion, as the 2024 MOT failure may relate to this. Test the electrical systems, including the air conditioning and lights, which can degrade over time. Examine the body for rust, particularly around the wheel arches and underbody, typical for 15-year-old vehicles. Verify the condition of the tyres and suspension components.
This 2011 Toyota Aygo has a mostly clean MOT history with a single failure in 2024 that recorded no defects. At 70,893 miles, the mileage is below average for a 15-year-old vehicle, suggesting careful ownership. While no aggregate reliability data exists for the Aygo, Toyota's general reliability reputation supports its appeal.
No aggregate MOT data is available for the Toyota Aygo, making it difficult to assess broader reliability trends for this specific model.
