Mechanical Assessment

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

The 2010 Toyota Aygo is currently roadworthy, with the most recent MOT on 2026-07-07 confirming compliance. The suspension system shows consistent minor wear, particularly in the front inner suspension arm pins or bushes, which have been flagged in three consecutive tests from 2023 to 2026. These issues remain non-critical, as they do not cause excessive movement, indicating a stable maintenance trend rather than deterioration. The 2025 test noted front brake discs worn but not excessively, and no significant structural or emissions issues were recorded in the latest assessment. The vehicle’s mileage of 79,684 miles over 16 years equates to approximately 4,980 miles annually, a low figure that suggests infrequent use or prolonged periods of inactivity. MOT records show regular testing every 12 months, with a brief gap between the 2023-07-11 pass and the 2024-07-11 tests, during which a failure occurred due to an insecure front exhaust system and a rear registration plate lamp fault. These issues were resolved by the next year, but the low mileage may have contributed to component aging, particularly in the suspension and exhaust systems. A buyer should inspect the front suspension components for further wear, focusing on the inner arm pins and bushes, which have shown recurring issues. The brake discs, though not excessively worn, warrant measurement to confirm thickness against minimum specifications. The exhaust system requires scrutiny for corrosion or leaks, as the 2024 failure highlights potential vulnerabilities. No structural rust or major mechanical defects are documented, but the vehicle’s age and low mileage necessitate a thorough check of all suspension linkages and brake hardware to ensure they remain within safe tolerances.

Our Verdict

Recommended with caution due to recurring suspension component wear and a failed MOT in 2024. Verify maintenance history before purchase.

Prioritise inspecting the front suspension components, particularly the anti-roll bar linkages and inner suspension arms, which have shown consistent wear in multiple MOTs. Request full service history to confirm if these issues were addressed. Negotiate a lower price to account for the 2024 failure and potential future repairs. Be wary of the 2024 MOT's exhaust system and registration plate lamp defects, which may indicate neglected maintenance.

The 998cc petrol engine offers decent fuel economy, likely averaging 50-60 mpg. Tax for 2026 would be £145 (standard rate for pre-2017 models). Insurance group is likely 10-12, making premiums moderate. Maintenance costs may rise due to suspension component replacement, with parts and labor potentially costing £200-£400 per repair. Estimated annual running cost: £800-£1,000.

Thoroughly check the front suspension system for wear on anti-roll bar linkages, inner suspension arms, and bushings. Inspect the exhaust system for looseness or damage, and test the nearside rear registration plate lamp. Look for signs of rust or corrosion around suspension components, and verify that all MOT repairs were properly completed. Check the vehicle's service records for any history of suspension maintenance.

This 2010 Toyota Aygo has a mixed MOT record with repeated suspension-related issues and a single failure in 2024. At 79,684 miles, the mileage is slightly below average for a 16-year-old vehicle, but the recurring suspension faults suggest potential long-term maintenance costs. No aggregate reliability data is available for the model.

No aggregate MOT data available for the Toyota Aygo, but Toyota as a brand is generally regarded as reliable. This vehicle's specific issues suggest potential maintenance challenges rather than inherent model flaws.
