Our Verdict
This Toyota Aygo is a sensible choice for urban driving, particularly given its recent clean MOT history. While a failure was recorded in March 2026, the subsequent pass suggests the issue was addressed promptly.
When viewing this 998cc petrol Aygo, check the service history to see how the engine has been maintained, as the MOT records alone do not confirm mechanical upkeep. Given the failure recorded at 65,357 miles in March 2026, ask the seller for specific details on what caused that failure and proof that the repair was completed before the pass six days later.
Negotiate based on the mileage; at over 65,000 miles, you should ensure that major consumables like tyres, brake pads, and potentially the clutch have been inspected. Because this is a small-capacity engine, ensuring the oil change intervals have been strictly followed is vital for long-term health.
The Aygo is designed for economy, with its 1.0-litre engine offering low fuel consumption suitable for city commuting. You can expect relatively low insurance groups and affordable road tax, making it a budget-friendly option for newer drivers or small households.
Maintenance costs for this model are typically low due to the simplicity of the mechanical components. However, you should budget for regular servicing and standard wear-and-tear items. The estimated annual running cost is approximately £900-£1,100, depending on your annual mileage and insurance profile.
Focus your inspection on the items that typically appear in MOT advisories for small city cars, such as tyre tread depth and brake wear. Although no specific defects were listed in the 2026 failure, it is wise to check the suspension components and exhaust system, as these are common areas for wear in vehicles used for short urban trips.
Check the white paintwork for any signs of scuffs or repairs, which are common on small cars used in tight parking environments. Additionally, verify the condition of the tyres to ensure they meet legal standards, as the recent MOT history shows the vehicle has been in active use.
This 2016 white Toyota Aygo has covered 65,392 miles since its first registration in March 2016. The MOT history shows five recorded tests, with the most recent being a pass in March 2026. The vehicle has maintained a consistent mileage progression, averaging approximately 10,000 miles per year.
No aggregate reliability data is currently available for the Toyota Aygo to provide a comparative reliability score.
