## Why this model

The Toyota Aygo X is a fantastic choice if you're looking for a small, stylish, and incredibly reliable city car. It's built on a solid platform (shared with the Yaris), meaning it feels more substantial than its predecessor. Toyota's reputation for bulletproof reliability means you can expect trouble-free motoring, and its compact size makes it a breeze to park and navigate tight UK streets. It's also very economical to run, which is a big plus right now!

## What you should pay

Based on current UK market data (February 2026), a 2022 Toyota Aygo X Pure with around 30,000-50,000 miles typically sells for about £12,345. You might find slightly cheaper options if you go for higher mileage or a basic trim, but expect to pay a bit more for the higher-spec Edge or Exclusive trims, or for cars with very low mileage. Always be prepared to negotiate a little, but don't expect huge discounts on a popular, reliable model like this.

## Which trim to buy

The 'Edge' trim is our top pick for best value. While the 'Pure' is a great entry point, the 'Edge' adds some really nice-to-have features like a larger infotainment screen, alloy wheels, and a reversing camera, which make a big difference for daily driving without a huge jump in price. It strikes the perfect balance between affordability and modern conveniences, giving you a much more enjoyable experience than the base model without stretching to the 'Exclusive' trim's premium price tag.

## What to check before you buy

- Minor infotainment glitches
- Occasional trim rattles
- Potential for premature brake wear if driven aggressively in urban environments

## Running costs

Running costs for the Aygo X are genuinely low. Fuel will be your biggest expense, but with real-world MPG of 42-48, you're looking at around 15p per mile with current petrol prices (approx. £1.50/litre). Vehicle Excise Duty (road tax) for a 2022 model is £190 per year. Insurance is generally very affordable for the Aygo X, thanks to its small engine and good safety ratings, making it a great option for new drivers or those looking to keep costs down.

## Key stats

- **Fuel Type**: Petrol
- **Horsepower**: 71 bhp
- **Mpg**: 42-48 mpg
- **Reliability Score**: Excellent
- **Safety Rating**: 4/5 Stars (Euro NCAP 2022)

| 2028 | £9,900 | 80.2% |

Buying a 2022 Toyota Aygo X now means you're picking it up after the steepest part of its depreciation curve. As a Toyota, it holds its value remarkably well compared to many rivals, so while it will continue to depreciate, the rate will be much slower. This means you'll lose less money when you eventually decide to sell it on, making it a smart financial move.

Total value lost since new: 33.58%.
