Our Verdict

Proceed with caution and a full pre-purchase inspection, as this 2012 Toyota Aygo has a mixed MOT record with two failures in the past two years. The most recent failure was a simple hazard warning switch fault that was rectified the same day, but earlier brake and tyre issues warrant closer checks.

Before buying, ask for evidence that the 2024 brake and tyre work was carried out properly and request any receipts for the hazard switch replacement from July 2026. A 998cc petrol Aygo of this age should be cheap to run, but the 2024 MOT showed rusty exhaust hangers and a rusty rear axle, so confirm these have not worsened. Negotiate on price if the seller cannot show regular servicing, as the MOT failures indicate some deferred maintenance.

The 1.0-litre petrol engine in this Aygo is well known for low fuel consumption, typically returning over 50mpg in real-world use, keeping fuel costs modest. Road tax for a 2012 sub-1.0-litre petrol should be in the lowest band, and insurance groups for Aygos are generally low, often group 3-6. Estimated annual running costs including fuel, tax, insurance and basic maintenance are around £800-£1,000, though rust repairs could add to this.

Check the hazard warning switch operates correctly, as it caused the July 2026 failure, and verify the repair was done properly. Inspect the front brake discs and pads for wear since the 2024 failure noted both sides worn and pads at 3mm, and look at all four tyres for edge wear given the 2024 advisories at 2.5mm. Examine the exhaust hangers and rear axle for rust progression, as both were flagged in 2024 and could now be worse on this 101,231-mile example.

This white 2012 Toyota Aygo (MA62HPF) shows 101,231 miles on its July 2026 MOT, which is reasonable for a 13-year-old city car. The MOT history includes a 2024 failure for brake discs, pads, tyres, exhaust hangers and a binding rear brake, though all were addressed by the 2024 pass and subsequent tests. The latest 2026 failure for an inoperative hazard switch was corrected immediately, and the car then passed, but the pattern suggests inconsistent maintenance intervals.

No aggregate MOT reliability data is available for the Toyota Aygo, so assessment is limited to this vehicle's own history.
