Our Verdict
A highly recommended budget city car. This specific Aygo demonstrates exceptional longevity and a remarkably clean maintenance record for a vehicle of its age.
When purchasing this KV06OPM registration, focus your attention on the service history rather than the MOT, as the latter is unusually spotless. Ensure the oil has been changed regularly, as the 998cc engine is robust but relies on consistent lubrication to reach high mileages.
Given the vehicle's age, check for any signs of corrosion on the underbody and sills, which are common weak points for early Aygos but haven't appeared on recent MOTs. Negotiate based on the age of the tyres and the date of the last major service, as these will be your immediate upcoming costs.
The 1.0L petrol engine is one of the most economical choices for UK roads, offering low fuel consumption and affordable road tax. Insurance groups for this model are typically very low, making it an ideal choice for new drivers or as a secondary city runabout.
Maintenance costs are generally minimal due to the mechanical simplicity of the Aygo. Between the low tax band, cheap insurance, and modest fuel needs, the overall cost of ownership is among the lowest in the UK market.
While the MOT history from 2022 to 2025 shows no recorded defects, you should still physically inspect the clutch and gear shift for smoothness, as these can wear after 120,000 miles. Check the red paintwork for fading or clear-coat peel, which is common on older Toyota reds exposed to the sun.
Verify the condition of the exhaust system and suspension bushings. Although the 2025 MOT passed without issues at 121,515 miles, these components naturally degrade over two decades and may require replacement soon to maintain the vehicle's current standard.
This red 2006 Toyota Aygo is in impressive condition for a 20-year-old vehicle, having covered 121,515 miles. The MOT history is exceptionally clean, with no recorded defects over the last five years. It represents a low-risk entry into motoring, provided the service history matches the clean MOT record.
The Toyota Aygo is widely regarded as a highly reliable and simple city car, a reputation supported by this specific vehicle's clean testing record.
