Defect rate by model year

Comparison of Toyota AYGO versus average car of the same model year.

The Toyota Aygo, launched in 2005, is a compact city car designed primarily for urban environments. Known for its nimble handling and fuel efficiency, the Aygo has carved out a niche among budget-conscious consumers looking for a practical yet stylish vehicle. With a reputation for reliability, it often appeals to first-time car buyers and those seeking economical transport.

When examining the reliability of the Aygo through MOT inspection data, it shows an overall positive trend, particularly in more recent years. For instance, the defect rate has decreased significantly from 408 defects per 100 tests in 2005 to just 14 defects per 100 tests in 2023. This marks a remarkable improvement, especially as the average defect rate for all cars of the same year has also decreased, indicating that the Aygo is performing increasingly better compared to its peers.

Despite this positive trend, recurring issues have been noted across various model years, particularly with suspension components and tyre conditions. Common defects include excessively worn suspension pins and bushes, as well as problems with tyre tread depth. While these issues are not unique to the Aygo, they do highlight areas where owners should focus their maintenance efforts. Notably, the years 2005 to 2012 generally exhibited higher defect rates than the average, while the Aygo's performance has noticeably improved from 2016 onwards, culminating in a substantial drop in defects by 2023.
