Our Verdict
This 2009 Toyota Aygo offers decent value for a low-mileage, well-maintained city car, but corrosion and recurring tyre issues warrant careful inspection before purchase.
Prioritise a thorough inspection of the rear subframe corrosion reported in 2026, as this could indicate long-term rust issues. Check the tyres for uneven wear or replacement history, as multiple minor damage reports suggest ongoing maintenance needs. Verify the exhaust system for leaks or repairs since 2022. Negotiate based on the vehicle's above-average mileage and recurring cosmetic issues, but note its low tax band and Toyota's reputation for reliability.
The 998cc petrol engine offers decent fuel economy (around 50-60 mpg), resulting in low fuel costs. As a 2009 model, it falls in UK tax band 'B' (£145/year). Insurance group 12 suggests moderate premiums. Routine maintenance (tyres, exhaust, and corrosion checks) will be the main costs, with estimated annual running costs of £800-£1,100.
Focus on the rear subframe corrosion near the nearside and offside mounts, checking for structural weakening. Inspect the tyres for replacement history and uneven wear patterns. Examine the exhaust system for signs of patch repairs or ongoing leaks. Check underbody panels for rust progression and verify that all MOT remedial work was properly addressed.
The 2009 Toyota Aygo has a mixed MOT history with corrosion on rear subframe mounts, minor tyre wear, and a 2022 exhaust leak. While it has passed all tests, the 60,852-mile reading is above average for its age. The 998cc petrol engine remains reliable, but corrosion risks and tyre maintenance costs should be factored into the decision.
No aggregate data available for Toyota Aygo, but individual reports suggest typical reliability for a 2009 city car with proper maintenance.
