Recalls that may affect cars built around 2008
2 of the Toyota Aygo’s 9 recalls in DVSA’s records cover cars built during 2008.
The 2008 on this page is the year of first registration, not the year the car was built. A car first registered early in 2008 may have been built in 2007, and recalls apply to particular build dates and VINs, so check the recalls either side too.
| Launched | Concern | Built | Vehicles |
|---|---|---|---|
| 21 Jan 2019 | There is a possibility that the glue holding the glass on the rear door could detach | 17 Feb 2005 to 19 Dec 2013 | 88,784 |
| 6 Feb 2010 | Accelerator pedal may fail to return to idle | 1 Feb 2005 to 31 Aug 2009 | 174,426 (all models) |

Data sources and methodology
| Figures | Source | Period | Records | Updated |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| MOT results and mileage | Anonymised MOT tests and results Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency Derived statistics UK Motoring | 2025 | 10,355 MOT tests of 2008 Toyota Aygo cars | 15 September 2026 |
| Cars on the record | Vehicle licensing statistics Department for Transport | End of 2025 | 10,162 cars still on the record (licensed or SORN) | 15 September 2026 |
- MOT figures cover normal tests in Great Britain in 2025 of Toyota Aygo cars first registered in 2008; retests are excluded. “All cars” means every car we match to a model, first registered in 2008.
- Year of first registration is DVSA’s first-use date: when the car was first registered, in the UK or abroad.
- Defects and advisories are DVSA’s descriptions made readable. Where on the car a defect was found (side, front or rear) is ignored, so the same fault on any wheel counts once per test.
- Mileage is the odometer reading at each car’s latest normal MOT of the year, as recorded by the tester. A few readings are in kilometres or mistyped; percentiles are not thrown by a handful of outliers.
- Cars on the record come from DfT table VEH0124 and cover the United Kingdom, including Northern Ireland; MOT figures cover Great Britain only.
- 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.
