Our Verdict
This Toyota Aygo presents a mixed picture, with recent MOT passing but a history of recurring issues. It may be a viable option for a budget buyer willing to address potential problems, but caution is advised.
Prioritise a thorough mechanical inspection focusing on brake discs, tyres, and wheel bearings. Check for rust or corrosion, particularly on the rear axle mentioned in the 2026 MOT. Verify service history for regular maintenance, as the 2025 MOT failure highlights potential brake system neglect. Negotiate the price to account for repair costs, and consider a pre-purchase inspection by an independent mechanic. Be wary of recurring issues like tyre wear, which may indicate alignment or suspension problems.
The 998cc petrol engine likely offers decent fuel economy, though exact figures depend on driving habits. As a 2009 model, it falls into a higher insurance group due to its age and low value. Tax costs would be minimal under the current system, but maintenance expenses may rise due to age-related wear. Estimated annual running costs range from £1,000-£1,200, including repairs for brake discs and tyres.
Focus on the brake system, particularly the front discs inspected in 2025 and 2026 MOTs. Check for uneven tyre wear, which may signal alignment issues. Inspect wheel bearings for play, as noted in multiple MOTs. Examine the rear axle for corrosion and potential structural damage. Look for signs of rust, especially in the underbody and wheel arches. Test all lights, as the 2025 MOT highlighted a non-working position lamp and brake binding.
The 2009 Toyota Aygo has a MOT history showing three failures in four years, including brake disc wear, tyre issues, and wheel bearing faults. With 87,616 miles, the mileage is above average for its age, though no model-specific reliability data is available. The 2023 MOT showed no defects, suggesting temporary reliability, but recent issues indicate ongoing maintenance needs.
No aggregate data available for the Toyota Aygo model, but Toyota as a brand is generally associated with reliability. This vehicle's history suggests potential maintenance challenges rather than systemic faults.
