Ranked #120 car in the UK · City car · 4,379 units sold last year
The Toyota Aygo X is a chunky, crossover-styled city car that brings a higher driving position and more style to the A-segment, with Toyota reliability and low running costs. A small 1.0 petrol keeps it frugal. Cross-shop the Hyundai i10, Kia Picanto and Fiat 500.
How these figures are sourced — the valuation is anchored to a researched used-market price for this model (AutoTrader median, 2023 at 30k miles). Reliability, mileage and variant data are real DVSA MOT records. Dimensions, tyre sizes and costs, servicing figures and the insurance group are segment-level estimates rather than sourced per car, and are being replaced model by model.

The short version
Forecourt score
Reliability 85 · Insurance 96 · catalogue percentiles
The Toyota Aygo X is cheaper to run than most. Its MOT-based reliability is excellent — an MOT score of 87/100, ahead of 56% of the cars we track.
The Forecourt score blends how this car ranks against the catalogue on value retention, reliability and insurance cost (weighted 40/40/20) — the from-new ownership picture. Higher is better; running cost is not yet folded in.

How we estimate this
Indicative annual comprehensive premium estimates. The 'Typical' figure represents an average UK driver in each age band; Lower and Higher risk show the realistic spread driven by factors UK insurers legitimately price on (postcode, occupation, claims history, NCB, voluntary excess, modifications). Based on 10,000 miles/yr, £250 voluntary excess, and the no-claims bonus selected above. Always get individual quotes before buying.
Adjust the annual mileage to match how you'll actually use the car. Insurance is what you selected above (age 33-39, typical risk, 3 yrs NCB).

"Parts low/medium/high" indicates how easy the replacement part is to source — discontinued or specialist parts mean longer workshop time and bigger bills.
Euro NCAP's independent crash-test rating for the Toyota Aygo X, from its 2022 assessment.
The passenger compartment of the Aygo X remained stable in the frontal offset test.
Independent crash-test data from Euro NCAP. Star ratings reflect the test protocol of the year shown — newer protocols are stricter, so a 5-star from 2024 represents a higher bar than a 5-star from 2014. Euro NCAP ratings run for six years from publication; a lapsed rating means the protocol has moved on, not that the car performs any worse than it did on test.
How this model fares at its MOT as it ages — from 89,309 real DVSA test records.
MOT pass rate by age
A 3-year-old Aygo X passes its MOT 94.2% of the time; by 12 years that has slipped to 83.2%. The y-axis is zoomed to this model’s range so the trend is readable.

What fails at the first MOT
The defect categories a Aygo X registered 2022–2023 fails on at its first MOT, from 19,862 first tests. Every car here is the same age and the same generation, so these are the faults that show up first - not the wear a high-mileage older example collects.

Safety recalls
Manufacturers occasionally issue safety recalls to fix a fault free of charge. You can check whether the Toyota Aygo X, or your exact vehicle, has any outstanding recalls on the official DVSA service.

Whole-car theft
Around average
Theft risk is around the UK average. Like most modern cars it has keyless entry, so relay theft is the method to guard against.
Parts theft

Worth doing
Whether driving a Toyota Aygo X into a UK clean-air zone will cost you anything. Rules use the same Euro standard across most zones — petrol from 2006 and diesel from 2015 onwards are exempt; pure electric is always exempt.
| City | Area | Daily charge | Likely outcome |
|---|---|---|---|
| London | All of Greater London (within the M25) | £12.50 | Likely exempt Petrol from 2006 meets Euro 4. |
| Birmingham | Inside the A4540 Middleway | £8.00 | Likely exempt Petrol from 2006 meets Euro 4. |
| Bristol | City centre and part of the Portway | £9.00 | Likely exempt Petrol from 2006 meets Euro 4. |
| Glasgow | City centre | — | Likely exempt Petrol from 2006 meets Euro 4. |
| Edinburgh | City centre | — | Likely exempt Petrol from 2006 meets Euro 4. |
| Aberdeen | City centre | — | Likely exempt Petrol from 2006 meets Euro 4. |

What HMRC's Benefit-in-Kind charge looks like if you ran this Toyota Aygo X as a company car, by tax year and income-tax band. Calculated from a CO₂ of 105 g/km, using £18,500 as the P11D value.
| Tax year | BIK % | Tax @ 20% | Tax @ 40% | Monthly @ 20% | Monthly @ 40% |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2025-26 | 26% | £962 | £1,924 | £80 | £160 |
| 2026-27 | 27% | £999 | £1,998 | £83 | £167 |

| 2028-29 | 28% | £1,036 | £2,072 | £86 | £173 |
| 2029-30 | 28% | £1,036 | £2,072 | £86 | £173 |
P11D value is approximated from the latest new price; the exact figure on your tax code will depend on options fitted. The 4% diesel surcharge applies only to non-RDE2 (pre-2021) diesels — we assume RDE2 compliance for current models. Bands and rates from HMRC's Autumn Budget 2024 confirmation through 2029/30.
How well-supported Toyota is across the UK — a practical read on how easy servicing, parts and warranty work will be to find.
Franchised UK dealers
~180
Large network
Mass-market
Network size relative to the UK's largest (Toyota is 4% of all franchised outlets)
Servicing, parts and warranty work are easy to find UK-wide, and most independent garages know the brand well — which keeps maintenance competitive.
For context, the UK has roughly 4,500 franchised car-dealer outlets in total, plus about 15,500 independent garages.
Approximate figures, curated from public UK industry sources (NFDA, Car Dealer Magazine). Franchised networks shrink year on year — these indicate network size, not an exact count.
These are segment estimates, not manufacturer figures. 296 of 325 catalogued cars share one of 14 identical dimension sets, so they describe a class rather than this particular car. Sourced figures replace them model by model.
