How the Toyota Aygo holds up with age
Every car fails the MOT more often as it gets older. What matters when you are buying is how steeply that happens for this particular model. These are the 2025 pass rates for the Toyota Aygo grouped by the vehicle's age at the time of the test.
| Age at test | Tests | Pass rate |
|---|---|---|
| 3–5 years | 45,972 | 93.21% |
| 6–10 years | 110,583 | 87.77% |
| 11 years and over | 111,244 | 70.12% |
The Toyota Aygo drops 23.1 percentage points between its early years and the 11-plus bracket, which is a steep decline. On an older example, the MOT history is worth reading closely before you buy.
Why the Toyota Aygo fails its MOT
Across every Toyota Aygo that failed its 2025 MOT, the most common area of failure was brakes, accounting for 24% of all recorded failure items. These are the areas worth having checked before you buy, and worth budgeting for on an older example.
| Failure area | Share of failure items | Recorded items |
|---|---|---|
| Brakes | 24% | 31,484 |
| Lamps, reflectors and electrical equipment | 21.79% | 28,585 |

What this means when buying a used Toyota Aygo
A pass rate is a population average, not a verdict on the specific car in front of you. The average Toyota Aygo came to its 2025 test at 52,881 miles and 10 years old. Most examples tested were petrol.
The useful check is the individual car's own MOT record: how many times it has failed, what for, and whether advisories keep reappearing. A recurring advisory on corrosion, suspension or brakes tells you far more than a model-wide average, and a mileage that does not move consistently between tests is a warning in itself.
