Toyota Aygo fuel economy and CO2

The Vehicle Certification Agency’s new car data lists the Toyota Aygo from 2005, and still lists it. On the WLTP test (listings 2019 to 2026), official combined fuel economy for its petrol and petrol hybrid versions ranges from 51.6 to 74.3 mpg, with CO2 of 87 to 124 g/km. On the older NEDC test (listings 2005 to 2018), official combined fuel economy for its petrol and diesel versions ranges from 61.4 to 68.9 mpg, with CO2 of 93 to 109 g/km.

  • Official figures from laboratory type-approval tests. VCA says they may not be achieved in real-world driving, and should not be used to rank cars with similar figures.
  • NEDC figures (in VCA’s data until September 2018) and WLTP figures (from the 2019 guide) come from different tests, so they are shown separately and should not be compared.
  • Engine sizes are rounded to the nearest 0.1 litre. A version is one line in VCA’s data (description, gearbox, engine and fuel), counted once however many years it was listed. Matched from VCA’s model names “Aygo X”, “Aygo”, “Aygo MY18”, “Aygo X HEV MY26”. How we use VCA’s figures.

Toyota Aygo safety recalls

DVSA lists 9 safety recalls for the Toyota Aygo since 1992, the first in 2010. The most recent was launched on 12 October 2023.

On affected vehicles there is a possibility that the DCM may not complete the shutdown process within a specific period of time when the ignition is turned off causing the DCM to not restart at the next ignition cycle and making the e-Call function unavailable. As a result the vehicles do not comply with relevant regulations.

All 9 Toyota Aygo recalls, with defects, remedies and build dates

A recall applies to cars built on particular dates or with particular VINs, not to every Toyota Aygo. The details come from manufacturers through DVSA, which says they may be delayed or incomplete. To check a specific car, use GOV.UK’s vehicle recall check or ask the manufacturer or a dealer. How we match recalls to models.

  • Figures cover Great Britain (England, Scotland and Wales). Northern Ireland is not included.
  • Licensed counts are vehicles with a current tax or exemption at the end of each year (or the latest quarter). SORN counts are shown separately.
  • First registrations count vehicles registered in Great Britain for the first time, including used imports.
  • Models are grouped by DVLA’s generic model name, so every generation and trim counts together.
  • MOT figures cover normal tests of cars aged three and over in 2025; retests are excluded. Age is rounded to the nearest year.
  • DVSA records the model name typed in at the test. We match those names to DVLA’s generic models, so a handful of tests may be counted under a close relative.
