Used Toyota Aygo for sale: everything you need to know

The Toyota Aygo is part of a dying breed: lightweight, and simple small cars, that are cheap to buy and run, don’t use much fuel without resorting to expensive technology, and don’t take up much space on the road.

Thankfully, they were very popular when new, and that popularity means buyers looking for low-cost transport enjoy abundant choice on the used car market. Toyota Aygos are easy to find, and their simplicity and Toyota reliability means that even if you’re shopping among the cheaper models on the market, you’re not necessarily sacrificing dependability. Along with the Citroen C1 and Peugeot 108, which were built on the same production line as the Aygo, this little Toyota makes a fine budget car purchase.

Should you buy a Toyota Aygo?

The Toyota Aygo is one of the most sensible small cars around. It might not have the brand image of a Volkswagen Up or the style of a Fiat 500, but as a used buy it’s even more affordable than when it was new, reliable, plentiful on the market (so you can be choosy), and a doddle to drive and own.

Highlights include a 1-litre petrol engine whose mid-50s mpg rating is pretty simple to achieve in real-world driving, but enthusiastic enough to get a move on if you’re deft with your gearchanges - the manual is better than the automated manual in this regard. The controls are light, which makes town driving, surely the Aygo’s key environment, easy and stress-free, but it can be fun on the open road too and adept on motorway trips if you accept the car’s limited performance.

The small, simple petrol engine keeps maintenance costs low, but this 1-litre has a good reputation anyway, so regular servicing should keep it ticking over happily for many years to come. You should be happy enough with everything else too, as the Aygo’s exterior styling still looks fresh (if you’re not keen, the Citroen C1 and Peugeot 108 are largely identical under the skin and have their own unique looks), and standard Apple CarPlay and Android Auto (in later models at least) means the infotainment is up to date.

There are more spacious cars in the class - the Volkswagen Up comes to mind - but interior space isn’t bad, and having three- and five-door options is useful. The boot’s a bit small, but that’s not unusual for this class. VW Up (and its Skoda Citigo and SEAT Mii siblings) aside, alternatives to the Aygo include the Fiat 500, Renault Twingo, Hyundai i10 and Kia Picanto.

What’s the best used Toyota Aygo model to buy?

As the Aygo has been around for a few years it’s had time to depreciate to true budget-car levels, so we’d avoid the base model X-Play and its predecessors and opt for one of the higher-spec cars. It isn’t that the X-Play is meanly equipped, as air conditioning and CarPlay/Android Auto compatibility are welcome, but when you can step up to a better-equipped model for the sake of a few hundred pounds and get toys like alloy wheels and fog lights, it’s worth doing. Keep an eye out for special editions too, which sometimes received even more kit, but don’t pay over the odds.
