About this model
The Toyota Aygo is a city car (A-segment) marketed by Toyota mainly in the European market between 2005 and 2022 across two generations. The Aygo was first displayed at the 2005 Geneva International Motor Show. It was built alongside the related Citroën C1 and Peugeot 107/108 at the Toyota Peugeot Citroën Automobile Czech (TPCA) joint venture in Kolín, Czech Republic. The Aygo's production ended in 2021 and the model was replaced by the crossover-styled Aygo X.

What fails its inspection
Great Britain's MOT record for the 2015 1.0 petrol. 3,021 of 26,037 tests failed, 12%.
Better than 74% of 2015 cars. The typical one fails 15%, across 894 models with enough tests behind them to say.
| Where | Share of failures | Failed tests |
|---|---|---|
| Brakes | 44% | 1,336 |
| Tyres and wheels | 38% | 1,152 |
| Visibility | 17% | 510 |
| Suspension | 15% | 442 |
| Lights and electrics | 13% | 405 |
| Exhaust and emissions | 6% | 193 |
The defects inspectors cite
- A tyre seriously damaged
- Tyre tread depth not in accordance with the requirements
- Wiper blade missing or obviously not clearing the windscreen
- A brake lining or pad worn below 1.5mm
- Significant brake effort recorded with no brake applied indicating a binding brake
- Parking brake efficiency below minimum requirement
Where it stands out against its peers
- Brakes: failed more often than 93% of 2015 cars — 44% of its 3,021 failed tests, where an ordinary 2015 car has 24%.
Same model year only, at least 30 peer cars, zeros included. Every car has a worst part; this shows which, and how far from ordinary it is. A high share means more to check, not a verdict.
NHTSA's investigations are American; no European regulator publishes an equivalent record, so this section has nothing to draw on for a European car. There is no European equivalent of the service-bulletin register either.

At 140–160k miles this one fails 21% of its inspections, against the 20% an ordinary car of the same age fails.
| Odometer | Failure rate | Rate | Its age | Tests |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 0–20k miles | 7% | 7% | 2,539 | |
| 20–40k miles | 9% | 10% | 8,724 | |

26,002 British inspections, grouped by the odometer reading recorded at the test.
Half of these have more than 40k miles on them. That is how far people drive this car, not how long it lasts.
