Our Verdict
This 2009 Toyota Aygo presents a mixed picture with a recent MOT failure in January 2026 following clean passes in previous years. Buyers should proceed with caution and verify the nature of the recent test failure before committing.
When inspecting this 998cc petrol Aygo, request documentation regarding the January 2026 MOT failure to understand why it failed and whether the necessary repairs were completed. Check the service book and invoices to see how regularly fluids, filters, and wear-and-tear items have been replaced over its 17-year history. Given that it is an older city car, examine the bodywork closely for parking dings, and test all interior electrics, including the heater blower and audio system.
The 1.0-litre petrol engine in the Aygo is known for competitive fuel economy, typically achieving strong figures in real-world urban driving. Road tax falls into a relatively low VED band for cars of this era, keeping annual licensing costs manageable. Insurance groups for the Aygo are among the lowest available in the UK, making it an affordable option for younger or newer drivers.
Typical maintenance costs for consumables like tyres, brake pads, and suspension components are modest due to the car's light weight and simple mechanical layout. Estimated annual running costs, factoring in fuel, insurance, tax, and routine servicing, should sit between £900 and £1,200 depending on your annual mileage and insurance profile.
Pay close attention to the mechanics around the 82,975-mile mark, ensuring you review the official MOT test certificate to identify the exact reasons behind the January 2026 failure. Inspect the chassis and sills for signs of corrosion, which can occasionally affect vehicles of this vintage. Check the clutch operation and biting point, as city-driven manual hatchbacks can experience premature clutch wear, and listen for any rattles from the three-cylinder engine bay during a cold start.
First registered in March 2009, this blue petrol-powered Toyota Aygo has covered 82,975 miles. The vehicle's MOT history shows a pass in January 2025 at 78,258 miles and an earlier pass in November 2024 at 76,593 miles after an initial test failure on the same day. Most recently, the car recorded a failure in January 2026 at 82,975 miles, with no specific defects noted in the provided dataset.
Aggregate reliability data for this specific model generation is not available, but the Aygo platform is widely recognised for simple mechanical packaging.
