Toyota Aygo X recalls
5 DVSA safety recalls launched from 1992 to October 2026 name the Toyota Aygo X. Each covers vehicles built in a set period, so a recall does not mean every Aygo X is affected.
-
Jun 2024 R/2024/195
Audio Head Unit Replacement on Certain Aygo X
Defect and remedy
- Defect
- Affected vehicles are equipped with an audio head unit which has map data and speed limit information which are used as an input for the ISA (Intelligent Speed Assistance). Due to inappropriate software there is a possibility that the audio head unit display turns black and the unit stops working. If this condition occurs the rear camera image is not displayed during reverse manoeuvres and the ISA function does not work. As a result the vehicles do not comply with EU regulations and the risk of an accident increases.
- Remedy
- Replace the audio head unit.

Is the Toyota Aygo X reliable?
MOT data does not measure reliability. It records whether a car met the roadworthiness standard on the day of its test. What it does show is a 94.3% first-time pass rate for the Toyota Aygo X across 12,889 tests in 2025, above the 72.3% average for all cars.
Has the Toyota Aygo X had any recalls?
5 DVSA safety recalls launched from 1992 to October 2026 name the Toyota Aygo X. The most recent was published in June 2024. A recall applies to vehicles built in a set period, so check a specific car on the GOV.UK vehicle recall checker.
What should I check before buying a used Toyota Aygo X?
On the car itself, start with the areas it most often fails on: tyres, visibility and lamps, reflectors and electrical equipment. Then check the individual car's own records. Outstanding finance, insurance write-offs and police stolen markers are not part of the MOT record, so they take a history check.
How do I check a Toyota Aygo X's history?
Enter the registration of the specific car. A Carpeep car history check reports outstanding finance, write-off category, stolen markers, mileage history, previous keepers, MOT and tax status, import and export markers and scrapped status in one £15 report.

MOT figures are aggregated from the DVSA MOT Anonymised data set for 2025 (class 4 initial tests, retests excluded), which also gives the engine sizes. Licensed, SORN, fuel and registration figures are from the Department for Transport vehicle licensing statistics (VEH0120, VEH0124, VEH0160). Recalls are from the DVSA vehicle recalls data, with recalls launched up to October 2026. Government data is used under the Open Government Licence v3.0. MOT results describe roadworthiness at test, not mechanical reliability. History-check findings are anonymous counts from reports bought on Carpeep, each vehicle counted once, and are published only where at least 100 vehicles returned an answer.
