Our Verdict
Proceed with extreme caution. While the Toyota Aygo is a reliable city car, this specific example has a significant history of mechanical neglect and requires immediate investment to be considered roadworthy.
Before considering a purchase, you must verify that the emissions-related issues (MIL light and Lambda readings) have been permanently resolved rather than just cleared for the MOT. Inspect the service history closely; the frequent brake disc and pipe issues suggest the car has sat for periods or been driven infrequently, leading to accelerated corrosion.
The 998cc engine is exceptionally economical and sits in a low insurance group, making it an ideal choice for new drivers. However, the current state of the vehicle suggests high initial maintenance costs to bring it up to a safe standard, including immediate tyre replacement and potential wheel bearing repairs.
Focus your inspection on the front sub-frame, which has been flagged for corrosion in multiple recent tests. Check the condition of the tyres immediately, as the nearside front and rear were noted as being close to the legal limit. Additionally, listen carefully for the noisy offside front wheel bearing while driving, as this was flagged as an advisory in May 2026.
This 2005 Toyota Aygo has covered a modest 77,899 miles, but its recent MOT history is concerning. After failing its May 2026 test on 14 separate items, including emissions failures and braking issues, it only passed after remedial work, yet several advisories remain. The vehicle's history suggests a pattern of deferred maintenance, particularly regarding the braking system and structural corrosion.
The first-generation Toyota Aygo is generally regarded as a robust and reliable city car, though age-related corrosion is a common issue for early models.
