2020 Toyota Aygo 1.0L Petrol · EX70 CXP

The 2020 Toyota Aygo presents a clean and stable maintenance trend across its entire MOT history. The most recent test on 5 September 2025 at 45,250 miles passed with zero defects or advisories, and the two preceding tests on 5 September 2024 at 28,887 miles and 5 September 2023 at 25,126 miles also passed with no faults recorded. This is an unusually clean record for a six-year-old city car, suggesting the vehicle has been well maintained and not subjected to the kind of neglect or hard use that typically generates recurring mechanical failures. The mileage pattern is remarkably consistent. Between the September 2023 and September 2024 tests, the car covered 3,761 miles, and between September 2024 and September 2025, it covered 16,363 miles, a significant jump that may indicate a change in ownership or a shift from short urban trips to longer commutes or motorway use. The overall annualised average of roughly 7,542 miles is typical for a vehicle of this age and class. There are no suspicious gaps in the test record, with annual tests completed on the same date each year, which points to organised and timely servicing. Despite the clean MOT record, a buyer should still carry out a thorough physical inspection. The 1.0-litre three-cylinder engine is simple and robust, but any city car of this age can develop worn suspension bushes, tired coil springs, or binding rear brake calipers that may not yet meet the MOT threshold for failure. Check the tyre condition carefully, as uneven wear on the inner edges can indicate tracking or suspension geometry issues that a tester may not flag unless severe. Inspect the underside for corrosion, particularly around the exhaust system, subframe mounting points, and sills, as salt exposure during winter commuting can cause hidden structural deterioration even when the car passes its MOT. The jump in annual mileage between 2024 and 2025 warrants a closer look at the clutch, gearbox, and brake discs for signs of accelerated wear. A short test drive covering varied road surfaces will reveal any rattles, clunks, or vibrations that a stationary MOT inspection might not expose. Overall, this is a well-documented vehicle with a faultless test history, but the mileage increase and the inherent limitations of the MOT test mean a pre-purchase inspection remains a sensible precaution before committing to the purchase.
