Toyota Aygo X Press Vvt I (2018)
2018 Toyota Aygo X Press Vvt I
CarHunch analysed 147 real MOT records for the 2018 Toyota Aygo X Press Vvt I. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.
This 2018 Toyota Aygo X-Press has a first-time MOT pass rate of 71.8%, which falls noticeably short of the UK average of 80%, suggesting these cars encounter more issues at test time than most. The good news is that no vehicle in this cohort has ever recorded a dangerous defect, and the average failure rate is just 0.04 per vehicle, indicating that when problems do arise they tend to be minor.
At a median mileage of 28,387 miles for a six-year-old car, these Aygos are running light, which partly explains the low failure count—but the 8-point gap below the national pass rate still warrants attention. Before buying, request the full MOT history to identify which components are failing most often, and factor in that you're likely to need at least one minor repair within the first year of ownership.
What to check before buying a 2018 Toyota Aygo X Press Vvt I
Practical pre-purchase checks for this age and model.
- 📋 Check the full MOT history. Look for recurring advisories — slow-building issues like corrosion or brake wear patterns show up years before they become failures. Enter the reg below for a full AI analysis.
- 🔍 Inspect for corrosion in person. Brake pipes, sills, subframes, and chassis legs. Surface rust is normal at this age; structural rust is a serious problem that's expensive to fix and can fail an MOT.
- 🛞 Check tyres and brakes. The most common advisory items at this age. Budget for replacement if they're near the limit — factor this into your offer price.
- 📄 Run an HPI check. The MOT history won't show outstanding finance, insurance write-offs, or stolen status — an HPI check will.
