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

The Toyota Aygo passed its most recent MOT on 29 December 2021 at 137,501 miles with only a modified front anti-roll bar noted as not seriously weakened. The maintenance trend shows a resolving pattern after earlier brake and lighting faults were addressed, though the record ends nearly five years before today's date and gives no view of current condition. Mileage rose from 48,406 in April 2018 to 54,840 by April 2019, then jumped sharply to 87,608 by the October 2020 failure and reached 137,501 by December 2021. That equates to roughly 50,000 miles in the final year recorded, far above the lifetime average of about 8,088 miles per year. The sparse history between 2018 and 2021 hides a period of heavy use that likely accelerated wear on consumables and running gear. Recurring front brake disc scoring appeared in April 2018, April 2019, and October 2020, with pads below 1.5 mm and a failed 2020 test on dipped beam, SRS warning lamp, washer fluid, plate lamp, and illegible plate. A buyer should inspect the front braking assembly for disc wear and caliper condition, verify the anti-roll bar modification is sound, and confirm the SRS fault was properly diagnosed rather than cleared. Given the 2020 failure on basic items like washer fluid and headlamp beam, the previous owner skipped routine checks before that test. The long silence since December 2021 means suspension bushes, coil springs, corrosion, and exhaust emissions must be physically assessed before purchase.

Our Verdict

Approach this 2009 Toyota Aygo with caution and a thorough inspection before purchase. Its high mileage and a notable 2020 MOT failure with several safety-related defects mean it is not a risk-free buy, though Toyota's general build quality offers some reassurance.

When considering this Aygo, prioritise evidence of the rectification work carried out after the October 2020 failure, particularly the front brake pads, headlamp, SRS warning, and washer fluid top-up, as the pass certificate two days later confirms these were addressed but not necessarily to a high standard. Request full service history to verify routine maintenance given the high mileage of 137,501 at the last test, and use the recorded defects to negotiate on price, as the car will likely need continued suspension and brake attention. For a 2009 model, check that the cambelt or chain (depending on specification) has been serviced appropriately for the mileage, and confirm the registration plate and mirror damage noted in 2020 have been resolved.

The 998cc petrol engine in this Aygo is among the most economical in its class, with real-world figures typically around 50-60 mpg, keeping fuel costs low for a high-mileage user. As a pre-April 2017 petrol car under 1.0 litre, it likely falls in a low VED band (around £20-£35 annually) and sits in a modest insurance group, though exact group data is not provided here. Maintenance on these cars is generally cheap due to simple mechanicals, but the MOT history shows recurring brake and suspension advisories, so budget for periodic discs, pads, and anti-roll bar bushes; estimated annual running cost is £700-£900 including fuel, tax, insurance, and typical upkeep.

The October 2020 MOT failure recorded front brake pads less than 1.5 mm thick, a nearside dipped beam failure, an SRS warning lamp fault, and an illegible plate, so physically confirm the brakes have life remaining, both headlamps work, the airbag light is off, and the plate is legible on this LS59AHV example. The 2021 advisory for a modified front anti-roll bar not seriously weakened, plus 2020 worn linkage bushes, means the front suspension should be inspected for amateur repairs or excessive play. Also check the offside mirror noted as damaged in 2020 and the washer system, and review the 137,501-mile odometer against the 2021 test to ensure no inconsistencies in recorded mileage.

This red 998cc petrol Toyota Aygo registered in September 2009 (LS59AHV) has covered 137,501 miles as of its last MOT in December 2021, well above typical use for a 17-year-old city car. The MOT history shows a failed test in October 2020 for items including worn front brake pads, a non-working nearside headlamp, and an SRS warning lamp fault, though it passed two days later after repairs. Recent advisories highlight ongoing front anti-roll bar wear and earlier brake disc issues, suggesting regular but not always preventative maintenance.

No aggregate MOT reliability data was available for the Toyota Aygo, but the individual history shows a mix of passes and one failure concentrated on wear items rather than structural faults.
