VF07 VGK MOT History
Interpretation generated from the recorded test data above — not an official DVSA statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.
5 MOT tests are recorded for this 2007 Toyota Aygo (VF07 VGK) between July 2022 and July 2024.
The record contains 3 passes and 2 failures.
The most recent test on 30 July 2024 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 2 failures that buyers may want to investigate.
Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Tyres (6 issues), Brakes (4 issues), Lighting (3 issues), Suspension (3 issues), Bodywork (1 issue). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.
In total 9 advisory notices are recorded. Advisories flag items that passed but may need attention before the next test; they are not evidence of how well the vehicle has been serviced.
Recorded failure items include: “Offside Suspension component mounting prescribed area excessively corroded significantly reducing structural strength si”; “Offside Front Position lamp not working (4.2.1 (a) (ii))”; “Exhaust Lambda reading after 2nd fast idle outside specified limits (8.2.1.2 (c))”.

Our Verdict
This 2007 Toyota AYGO carries significan
The 2023 and 2024 MOT failures both flagged corrosion in structural areas — the offside rear floor and sill in 2023, and the offside front sill-to-floor in 2024. These are not minor advisories; they are reasons for failure that speak to the long-term integrity of the bodywork. Any purchase must be conditional on an independent inspection of the sills, floors, and rear suspension mounting points, ideally with the vehicle on a ramp. Brake pipes were flagged as excessively corroded in 2023 and covered in grease/corrosion in 2022, suggesting a braking system that has either been patched or is overdue for replacement — factor in the cost of a full brake pipe renewal, which on an AYGO typically runs £250-£400.
The 2024 failure also recorded an exhaust lambda sensor reading outside specification, which on a 1.0-litre AYGO usually means a new sensor (£120-£180 including labour) or potentially a catalytic converter issue if the sensor replacement does not cure it. Negotiate hard on price to account for these likely costs, or request documentary proof that the work has been completed since the most recent test. Given the vehicle's age, also budget for replacement tyres, a new position lamp, and registration plate lamp, as these have all been flagged repeatedly.
Fuel economy for the 998cc petrol AYGO typically sits in the 50-55 mpg range in real-world mixed driving, helped by its kerb weight of under 800 kg. Road tax for a pre-March 2001 engine is not applicable here, but as a 2007 car with a 1.0-litre petrol engine registered before the current VED bands were set, it sits in the cheapest £35-per-year bracket, which is a genuine plus. Insurance is usually group 3-5 depending on trim, keeping premiums low for younger or city-based drivers.
Annual maintenance for an AYGO of this age and mileage typically runs £300-£500 for routine items such as cam belt replacement (due every 5 years or so on this engine), brake fluid changes, and an annual service. However, given the MOT findings, you should realistically budget £800-£1,200 in the first year to cover the structural and brake-related repairs already flagged, plus general consumables. The estimated annual running cost sits around £900-£1,300 including fuel, tax, insurance, and maintenance.
Begin with a thorough inspection of the sills and floor pans — both offside front and offside rear mounting areas have been flagged as excessively corroded. Use a screwdriver or tap test along the inner sill seams, jacking points, and behind the rear wheels where corrosion commonly takes hold on first-generation AYGOs. Any bubbling paint, exposed metal, or rust-through should be treated as a major red flag, and welding repairs at this age rarely offer long-term value. Pay particular attention to the offside rear suspension mounting area, which was failed in 2023.
The braking system needs careful scrutiny too. With brake pipes flagged in three of the five MOT tests (2022, 2023 twice, with the latter being a failure), the entire underbody brake line should be inspected for corrosion, flaking, or previous repairs. Also check the rear wheel bearings for roughness by spinning each rear wheel by hand — the offside rear was noted as rough in 2023. Finally, ask for evidence that the exhaust lambda sensor issue has been resolved since the 2024 test, as unresolved emissions faults can quickly lead to MOT failure and poor fuel economy.
Across five recorded MOT tests, this blue 998cc petrol AYGO has passed twice and failed twice, with one retest pass — a notably poor outcome compared to the model's 83.6% pass rate across 270,940 examples. Mileage of 76,613 miles over 18 years works out at roughly 4,250 miles annually, which sits below the model average of 5,075. However, the MOT record reveals a pattern of corrosion-related failures affecting sills, floors, and brake pipes that cannot be ignored.
The Toyota AYGO shows an 83.6% MOT pass rate across 270,940 examples, indicating broadly reliable performance for the model overall, though headlamp, suspension arm, and tyre issues are the most common reasons for failure. The corrosion pattern on this particular car is more severe than the model average would suggest.
