2007 Toyota Aygo 1.0L Petrol · WL07 HGP

The Toyota Aygo presents a clean and stable MOT history, with the most recent test on 26 June 2025 at 152,364 miles passing without any defects. This consistency extends back through the previous four annual tests—24 June 2023 (122,834 miles), 3 June 2024 (137,377 miles), and 2 July 2022 (122,472 miles)—all of which also recorded no failures or advisories. The absence of recurring issues suggests the vehicle has been maintained to a high standard, at least in terms of compliance with MOT requirements. That said, the lack of advisories does not preclude the need for a thorough pre-purchase inspection, particularly given the car’s age and mileage. The mileage accumulation of roughly 8,019 miles per year is broadly in line with expectations for a 19-year-old vehicle, though the data reveals a period of stagnation between 2021 and 2022, where the odometer remained at 120,367 miles for nearly a year before advancing to 122,472 miles in the July 2022 test. This suggests the car may have sat unused for extended periods, which could imply storage rather than active use. The subsequent annual increases—from 122,834 miles in 2023 to 152,364 miles in 2025—indicate a return to regular driving, though the jump between 2024 and 2025 (14,987 miles in 12 months) may reflect heavier usage or a catch-up in mileage recording. Given the MOT record’s sterling cleanliness, a buyer should still prioritise a professional inspection of key wear items, particularly the suspension components, including coil springs, dampers, and bushings, which are prone to fatigue on a vehicle of this age. The brakes—specifically the rear calipers and pads—should be checked for binding or uneven wear, as these are common failure points in older Toyotas. Structural integrity is another critical area; despite the Aygo’s reputation for rust resistance, a close examination of the sills, wheel arches, and underbody for corrosion is advisable, especially if the car has spent time in damp or salty conditions. Finally, while the MOT history shows no issues with emissions, a pre-purchase inspection should verify the condition of the exhaust system and catalytic converter, as these can degrade over time without necessarily triggering a test failure.
