Why Buy a Used Toyota Aygo?

The Aygo built its reputation as one of the simplest, cheapest and most cheerful ways onto the road. Small, light and easy to drive, it is a natural fit for city life, first-time drivers and anyone wanting a dependable second car, backed by Toyota's reputation for reliability.

Production of this generation ran until 2021, when the Aygo X crossover replaced it, so every Aygo is now a used proposition, and that is where its value shines. With depreciation long settled, a used Aygo is among the most affordable cars you can buy to run, insure and maintain.

Where a car still qualifies, any remaining warranty transfers to you as the new keeper, and every Aygo at Vertu is prepared and checked before it reaches the forecourt. For buyers who want a no-fuss, low-cost small car, the used Aygo is a sensible choice.

Is the Used Toyota Aygo a Good Buy?

Yes, particularly for city drivers and those keeping a close eye on costs. The Aygo is powered by a frugal 1.0-litre VVT-i three-cylinder petrol engine producing 72bhp, paired with a five-speed manual or an automated manual gearbox, and known for low fuel consumption and sensible insurance groupings.

Its light weight and compact dimensions make it easy to park and nip through traffic, while its distinctive styling, and the option of a retractable canvas roof on some versions, gave it more personality than most budget city cars. Later models came with a touchscreen, a reversing camera and Toyota Safety Sense on higher trims.

Every used Aygo sold by Vertu is checked before it reaches the forecourt as part of our used car preparation process, covering no outstanding finance, no history as a taxi, and no salvage or write-off record. With that preparation behind it, a used Aygo is a low-risk, low-cost first or second car.

Who Is the Used Toyota Aygo Best For?

The Aygo suits several kinds of budget-focused buyer. The table below pairs four of them with what the car offers.

What Is It Like to Own a Used Toyota Aygo?

The Aygo is about as simple and inexpensive to own as a car gets. Its 1.0-litre petrol engine is economical and easy to maintain, insurance is cheap, and Toyota's reliability record means a well-kept example should give dependable service for years.

Inside, it is straightforward but well judged for its class, with later cars offering a touchscreen with smartphone connectivity, a reversing camera and air conditioning on higher trims. It seats four, and the boot, while modest, is enough for shopping and city errands. The x-shaped front design and personalisation options gave the Aygo a cheerful, distinctive character.

Because it shares Toyota's dealer network, servicing is straightforward and affordable. Once an Aygo reaches Vertu it is inspected and prepared by our technicians before sale, and servicing it through Vertu's Toyota-trained colleagues helps keep it running to manufacturer standards.
