Toyota AYGO

2010–2010

The Toyota AYGO (2010-2010) has a high MOT failure rate, particularly for corrosion-related issues.

The Toyota AYGO (2010-2010) exhibits a concerning overall MOT failure rate of 21.7%, based on 2,641 real MOT tests from DVSA data. This statistic highlights a significant risk for potential buyers, especially in the context of corrosion, which is a critical issue for this model.

Among the top defect categories, brakes and tyres are particularly problematic, with failure rates of 32.98% and 28.86% respectively. While these figures indicate general reliability concerns, they also suggest that corrosion could be a contributing factor, as it often affects braking systems and the structural integrity of vehicles.

When examining failure rates by mileage, the data reveals a stark increase in issues as mileage increases. For example, vehicles with over 120,000 miles have a failure rate of 41.5%, which is significantly higher than the 14.9% failure rate for those with 0-40,000 miles. This trend suggests that corrosion-related problems may become more prevalent as the vehicle ages and accumulates mileage.

Given these statistics, prospective buyers should approach the Toyota AYGO (2010-2010) with caution, particularly regarding its susceptibility to corrosion and the associated risks of high repair costs and safety concerns.
