Our Verdict
Exercise caution before purchasing this
When inspecting this specific Aygo, prioritize a thorough check of the braking system and tyres. The 2021 MOT failure explicitly noted thin brake pads on both sides and a nearside front tyre with exposed cords, indicating that maintenance of consumables may have been inconsistent. Ensure that any replacement parts used since that test meet safety standards.
Negotiate based on the high mileage, which is well above the statistical average for this model. Ask for evidence of recent service history to supplement the MOT data, as the MOT only confirms the vehicle met minimum safety standards at the time of testing and does not reflect overall mechanical upkeep. Check the condition of the headlamp lenses specifically, as the previous failure noted both lenses were seriously defective.
The 998cc petrol engine is designed for economy, typically offering low fuel consumption suitable for urban driving. As a 2006 model, the tax band and insurance group are generally low, making it an affordable option for new drivers or city commuters.
Maintenance costs for an Aygo are typically modest due to the simplicity of the mechanical components. However, with mileage exceeding 120,000, you should budget for more frequent replacements of wear-and-tear items like suspension components, which is a common failure reason for this model aggregate.
Focus heavily on the lighting and visibility components. The 2021 MOT record highlighted 'seriously defective' headlamp lenses on both sides; ensure these have been replaced or professionally restored and are not simply polished to hide cracks.
Inspect the tyres and braking components closely. Given the previous failure for exposed cords on the nearside front tyre and thin brake pads, look for even tread wear and ensure there is no excessive vibration when braking. Additionally, keep an eye on the suspension, as 'suspension arm' is a top failure reason for the Toyota Aygo model aggregate.
This grey 2006 Toyota Aygo has covered approximately 121,855 miles as of its last recorded MOT, which is significantly higher than the model average of 5,075 miles per year. The most recent MOT data from September 2021 shows a failure involving brake pads, tyre condition, and headlamp defects. Given the vehicle's age and high usage, any potential buyer must account for the age of components and the cumulative wear on this 998cc petrol engine.
The Toyota Aygo shows an average MOT pass rate of 83.6% across 270,940 analysed vehicles, with common failures involving headlamps, suspension, and tyres.
