Toyota Aygo Mk2 (2014–2022): what fails at MOT
Across 138,446 MOT tests of the Toyota Aygo Mk2 (2014–2022) in the DfT's 2023 MOT data (initial tests, retests excluded), 13.6% failed — about 1 in 7. The parts that fail most are tyres (4.5% of tests), brakes (3.9%), wipers, windscreen and mirrors (3.7%), lights and electrics (2.9%) and suspension (1.1%).
Allowing for age and mileage, the Aygo Mk2 has 11% fewer MOT failures than the average car of the same age and mileage. That puts it first of the two Toyota Aygo generations on MOT results.
The MOT checks safety and emissions items — brakes, suspension, steering, lights, tyres, body structure and exhaust emissions. It does not test engines, gearboxes or most electronics, so those faults only show up here when they cause an emissions failure or a leak.
