AI-generated interpretation of this vehicle’s MOT record — not an official statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

The vehicle presents a currently roadworthy status following the most recent MOT test on 11 March 2025 at 96,839 miles, where the tester recorded no defects and issued a pass. The maintenance trend across the available history is stable, with no mechanical advisories or failures attributed to component condition. On 13 February 2023 and 2 February 2024 the Aygo logged both a fail and a pass on the same date at 81,525 and 84,607 miles respectively, yet each entry carries no defects recorded, indicating administrative or non-mechanical test anomalies rather than worsening integrity. Mileage accumulation sits low for an eighteen-year-old car. The odometer advanced from 81,525 miles in February 2023 to 84,607 miles in February 2024, a modest 3,082-mile interval, then rose to 96,839 miles by March 2025, equating to roughly 12,200 miles over thirteen months. Annual averages settle near 5,380 miles, suggesting light use or periods of storage. The sparse DVSA entries show clean results aside from the duplicated fail/pass pairs, reflecting either conscientious basic upkeep or minimal rigorous inspection documentation. Prospective buyers should still commission a physical inspection of age-related components not always captured in a pass result. The tester noted no corrosion or structural concerns, but the Aygo’s suspension bushes, front coil springs, and brake discs warrant hands-on checks for fatigue after nearly two decades. Exhaust emissions and catalytic efficiency should be verified given the low annual mileage that can encourage condensation build-up. The unexplained fail records from 2023 and 2024 mandate obtaining the full DVSA test certificate to confirm no hidden binding calipers or tyre defects were omitted.

Our Verdict

This 2008 Toyota Aygo is a solid, honest city car that has clearly been well-maintained in recent years. With a clean pass record since 2023, it represents a reliable and economical choice for a budget-conscious buyer.

When viewing this Aygo, pay close attention to the clutch operation, as these 1.0-litre engines are known to be sensitive to heavy city driving. While the recent MOTs are clean, ensure you physically check the condition of the tyres and brake discs, as these are common wear items that might not trigger a test failure until they are right on the limit.

Check the service history for evidence of regular oil changes. The 1KR-FE engine is generally robust, but it relies on clean oil to keep the timing chain and VVT system running smoothly. If the service book is incomplete, factor in the cost of a full service immediately after purchase to ensure longevity.

The 1.0-litre petrol engine is exceptionally frugal, making this one of the cheapest cars to run on the road. You can expect impressive fuel economy in urban environments, and with its low CO2 emissions, the annual Vehicle Excise Duty (road tax) remains very affordable.

Insurance is typically in one of the lowest groups, making this an ideal car for new drivers or those looking to minimise monthly outgoings. Aside from fuel and insurance, you should budget for basic maintenance items like tyres and the occasional suspension component, which are inexpensive for this model.

While the recent MOT history is clean, inspect the underside of the vehicle for any signs of corrosion, which can affect older Aygo models. Open the boot and check the spare wheel well for any signs of water ingress, as the rear light seals can perish over time, leading to damp carpets.

Test the heater controls and air conditioning (if fitted) to ensure they function across all settings. During your test drive, listen for any knocking noises from the front suspension when going over speed bumps, as drop links and bushes can wear out on higher-mileage examples like this one.

This blue 998cc petrol Aygo has covered 96,839 miles since its registration in March 2008. The MOT history is particularly encouraging, showing clean passes for the last three consecutive years. Despite being an older vehicle, the lack of recorded defects suggests the previous owner has kept on top of essential maintenance.

The Toyota Aygo is widely regarded as a dependable city car, with its simple mechanical layout contributing to a strong reputation for longevity.
