Our Verdict
Caution advised due to recent suspension and tire issues, but overall a reliable choice with proper inspection and maintenance.
Prioritise inspecting the suspension components for wear, as the 2024 MOT noted significant bush damage. Check tire tread depth and condition, as both front tires were near legal limits in 2023. Verify the headlight lenses and leveling system, which failed in 2023. Negotiate based on repair costs for suspension and tire issues. Request full service history to confirm maintenance consistency.
The 998cc petrol engine offers decent fuel economy, though specific figures are unavailable. As a 2009 model, it likely falls in a mid-range insurance group. Maintenance costs may rise due to suspension and tire repairs. Annual running costs are estimated at £800-£1,000, including fuel, tax, and routine servicing.
Focus on the suspension arms and bushes, which showed significant wear in 2024. Check for corrosion on the offside rear brake pipe, noted in 2025. Inspect the front tires for uneven wear and ensure tread depth meets legal standards. Examine the headlight lenses and leveling mechanism for damage. Confirm the registration plate is secure and legible.
This 2009 Toyota Aygo has a mixed MOT history, with recent suspension and tire failures offset by a clean 2025 MOT. At 94,899 miles, the mileage is slightly below average for a 17-year-old vehicle, but the lack of aggregate model data limits reliability insights. The car shows signs of wear but remains functional with targeted repairs.
No aggregate data available for the Toyota Aygo, but Toyota as a brand is generally associated with reliability.
