Our Verdict
The 2012 Toyota Aygo offers good value for money but requires careful inspection of suspension components and tire condition. Its below-average mileage and clean MOT history offset some concerns.
Prioritise checking the suspension system for worn bushes and shocks, as these were recurrent MOT issues. Verify tire tread depth and condition, as edge wear was repeatedly flagged. Request full service history to confirm if suspension repairs were addressed. Negotiate based on the 14-year age and recurring maintenance needs, but the low mileage and Toyota brand credibility make it a viable option for cautious buyers.
The 998cc petrol engine offers decent fuel economy (around 55-60 mpg), keeping fuel costs low. Zero road tax applies due to emissions, and insurance groups for small cars are typically mid-range. Maintenance costs may rise due to suspension bush replacements, with repairs averaging £150-£300 per axle. Estimated annual running cost: £800-£1,000 including servicing.
Focus on the front suspension system, particularly the anti-roll bar and suspension arm bushes mentioned in multiple MOTs. Check for oil leaks around the suspension components and inspect tires for uneven wear. Examine the nearside and offside front indicators for discoloration (as noted in the 2025 MOT) and verify the rear registration plate's condition. Confirm the vehicle has not been involved in accidents using the VIN.
This 2012 Toyota Aygo has 60,189 miles – below average for its age – and a generally clean MOT record. Repeated minor suspension bush wear issues (5.3.4 (a) (i)) and tire edge wear were noted between 2021-2025, but no major defects. The black 998cc petrol model benefits from Toyota's reputation for reliability, though specific aggregate data for the Aygo is unavailable.
While no aggregate data exists for the Toyota Aygo, Toyota as a brand is generally reliable. However, this vehicle's MOT history suggests common suspension maintenance needs that may affect long-term ownership costs.
