Our Verdict
Avoid this 2012 Toyota Aygo due to repeated corrosion issues, excessive tyre wear, and multiple MOT failures in 2025. The high mileage and persistent mechanical problems make it a high-risk purchase.
This vehicle requires extreme caution. Insist on a full mechanical inspection focusing on corrosion, tyres, and suspension components. Negotiate heavily due to the high mileage and repeated MOT failures. Check for service records to confirm if corrosion issues were addressed. Be wary of hidden repair costs, particularly with the exhaust system and brake pipes. Avoid if the seller cannot provide evidence of proactive maintenance.
As a 998cc petrol car, fuel economy is likely efficient for city driving but may struggle on long motorway trips. Tax is likely £145 annually (2026 rates for 1-100g/km CO2). Insurance group is unspecified but likely mid-range. Maintenance costs will be elevated due to corrosion repairs, tyre replacements, and exhaust system work. Estimated annual running cost: £1,000-£1,200.
Focus on corrosion throughout the underbody, particularly brake pipes (noted in all MOTs) and suspension components. Check for further tyre wear or damage, as multiple tyres have been near legal limits. Inspect the exhaust system for leaks or damage, as it was insecure in 2025. Verify that anti-roll bar linkage bushes have been replaced or reinforced. Test all lighting systems, including the registration plate lamp, which failed in 2025. Check wheel bearings for play, as this was noted in 2025.
This 2012 Toyota Aygo has a concerning MOT history with recurring corrosion, tyre wear, and suspension issues. At 179,397 miles, the mileage is significantly above average for its age. While it passed in 2022 with no defects, the 2025 MOT failure highlights serious underlying problems. No aggregate reliability data is available for the model.
No aggregate MOT data available for the Toyota Aygo, but this vehicle's history suggests potential corrosion and suspension issues common in older models.
