Toyota Aygo (2020)
2020 Toyota Aygo
CarHunch analysed 16,110 real MOT records for the 2020 Toyota Aygo. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.
The 2020 Toyota Aygo is a genuinely reliable proposition, with a 92.5% first-time pass rate that sits well above the UK average of 80%—and dangerous defects affecting only 10.9% of the fleet, which is reassuringly low for a car of this age. You're looking at a vehicle that typically sails through its MOT without significant drama.
At just 19,010 miles median mileage, these Aygos are still relatively young and lightly used, which explains why they're averaging only 0.33 failures per vehicle and gathering just 2.6 advisories. If you're considering one, check the service history carefully and grab a full pre-purchase inspection, but the numbers suggest you're buying into a model that's holding up well to early ownership.
What to check before buying a 2020 Toyota Aygo
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.
