I BOUGHT A CHEAP TOYOTA AYGO

[@daviddawson9099]

Really enjoyed the video. Great little cars and good to hear all the common problems your looking for. Had the equivalent for the daughters c1 and 107 and mother in law had the AYGO. One had heating controls go, one had the clutch go, one battery. Washer motor, leak in boot But besides this just general wear and tear. Fantastic starter cars and so cheap to run. 0 tax and £20 tax. I would recommend one to any new driver.

[@marksouthwell4490]

I have the Peugeot 107 version. Mine has 112,000 miles on the clock and it runs really well / never misses a beat ( touch wood)

[@alistairrobinson3865]

Got a 2007 aygo with 130k miles on it, runs like dream, mechanically are rock solid, reckon 5 years and rust will get it though, starting to bubble up beneath the paint under rear wheel arches (a common issue)

[@marksouthwell4490]

Re the hazard light button, they improved this in later models . Anything post 2012 had new plastic buttons and they didn't crack . They also stuck in a new type of clutch

[@safdarrizvi9885]

Ive had 5 of these to date.The older ones cost £20 to tax.I agree these are perfect for a cheap city every day run about.Easy to park and manouvre through busy city streets.Parts are cheap.Cheap servicing.3 spark plugs and just over 3 litres of oil.C2/C3 5W 30 fully synthetic.Front wheel bearings are common problems on these.Another good video Liam.

[@carukchannel]

Thanks safdar, yes I really rate them as a cheap reliable car that's a decent drive

[@connashio1]

The clutch size was increased on the facelift model, this is now the only size available and the larger diameter lasts like a modern clutch should. Only the original smaller one wears quickly

[@rickysingh5641]

It's only a 10mm change not really a massive difference?

[@connashio1]

@@rickysingh5641 , it is a small difference but enough to make the clutch last as it should. 107 forums have plenty of info on this.

[@nickolive5590]

I've owned 2 Aygos and these cars are really great to drive and cheap to run. The clutch needed replacing at 90k and cost 350 pounds and was done in a couple hours so your price was bang on. Great for a first car keep on top of oils and servicing and you can't go wrong. Will subscribe to your channel.

[@carukchannel]

Thanks nick, I agree with you, I don't think there is any other cheap form of motoring than a aygo / c1 / 107 great cars

[@jonessenoj6753]

[@jairam.r]

I am from India, and I do follow a lot of UK motoring YT channels and recently came across your channel. I'll be honest here, I'm really loving your content - good explanation of the car and the work that you additionally put in before flipping it. Don't ask me why I am watching a UK based Car trading channel cause none of these cars are even available in the Indian market, but yeah honestly even I dnt know except for the fact that your content is really nice. Keep up the good work mate and do put more videos and best of luck !! :) :)

[@carukchannel]

Many thanks Jairam, great to see my content is being viewed outside the UK, thanks for watching

[@flippingcarsrepairs]

Wow that's impressive 👍👍👍

[@brianiswrong]

The colour is king on the car. A young female driver will fall in love with the colour, mum and dad will be happy it's a toyota, decent mileage,decent spec and the front bumper repair will become invisible to them in 2 weeks. The laquer peel on the rear wing is the sort of blemish the driver will be told " get a quote from a mobile smart paint repair guy" and in her and dad's head will be a £200ish fix as a birthday/ graduation present. Is is missing a parcel shelf.

[@carukchannel]

Well said, I also think there will be a young driver out there for this. We will see this weekend when it goes up for sale. many thanks for the comment

[@stevenham1937]

I think you’re spot on to sell as is. The price is right and I wouldn’t care about the few imperfections to get a reliable motor for that sort of money the way things are now.

[@carukchannel]

Thanks steve, yes was the right call, we sold it yesterday so worked out well, thanks for the comment

Just found your channel Lee and liking it. Think your decision on the Aygo was the right one, I said to my wife "oil and filter, new tyre, 12 months ticket and put it up as is for £2400", thanks for saying £2395 as that made me look really good. Nice motor, good channel, keep it up 👍🏻

[@Yes-dd2rl]

Have the exact same issue at the moment. I thought it was coming from the rear lights but sealed them and still leaking so think it's the top brake light. Think a bodge job clear silicon seal will hopefully do

[@gsonz172]

My mother's 2014 Aygo also has that problem with water getting into the brake light, I'm wondering why Toyota didn't fix this with the newer generation. I hope that I won't have this problem with my new 2022 Aygo X.

[@86karl]

Just come across your channel and watched this liking what I watching you have a new subscriber ill have to go back and watch the older videos , these seem to sell really well and like you said not worth doing the repairs because you'll struggle to get your money back

Thanks k86, that seems to be the consensus on selling it as it is, I will be placing it up for sale later so will keep people updated in new videos on vehicles covered on the channel, many thanks for the comments

[@danielmosey6203]

You’ve done the right thing. The thing that gets lost generally in the valuation is time, which is also money. You sell a call that’s mechanically sound, the body condition 95% and you make the same profit (on paper) than making it 100% mint. You’ve made more money this way, without compromising the mechanical quality. Win win!

[@carukchannel]

thanks Daniel 👍

[@ferithedataguy]

Had a few of these over the years, clutch and exhaust can be an issue but overall bulletproof. Great channel btw, just subbed!

@@carukchannel Kept an Aygo for 2 years just to make sure we have a car that's always available and usable :D Free road tax and cheap insurance means it didn't really cost us much.

Try it mate you have nothing to loose 👍👍👍

[@Sir-Prizse]

My decision was between a 2012 Toyota Aygo and a basic 2012 VW up! (take up!) with hail damage and I have decided for the up!, because at 101,000 km it had done 120,000 km less than the Aygo for the same price. In the first year of ownership, I only had to replace the rear brake pads and the V-belt, otherwise a reliable little car. Perfect for the 17,000 km I drive in a year. It's a bit spartan with regard to the equipment, but if you want to get to work as cheaply as possible, this is the right car for you with 64 MPG.

[@carukchannel]

Sir prizse my 2nd option for a small reliable car would be the UP, they are just a little more expensive than a aygo but are 100% a decent cheap reliable car and will offer real value in the coming years . We never have any VW ups in for repairs other than standard wear and tear. Will look to do a video on one soon all being well

[@Sir-Prizse]

@@carukchannel I would definitely look forward to this upcoming video!

[@oscarcat80]

Definitely wouldn’t have done anything different. The car is mechanically sound which on this budget is all I would want. Think I would be more worried if a 12 plate city car didn’t have some minor damages on it . Really enjoyed this video, thanks for taking the time to make these

[@carukchannel]

Thanks Oscar, will keep them coming 👍👍

[@pielight7449]

Definitely best strategy to service, new tyre, mot, sell. It is a perfect starter car, or runaround with low running costs and the lower price you can sell it for could well bring it into the price band of a lot of people who want something cheap, tidy and reliable, but being perfect is not a priority.

[@carukchannel]

My thinking too pielight, and its sold within a few days of this video so the right outcome. Thanks for watching and comment 👍

[@matthewgodwin3050]

Love a bit of 'car trader slang'. Worked in an MG/Rover dealership in late 90s, early 2000s, and often made calls along the lines of "it's got a bit of leg on it, but all the stamps. New ticket, 6 months rent, new boots, hole in the roof, power, air, electric, hyde, bag of wind, and tunes & turns" when trading out part exchanges we didn't want to retail. Translation: High mileage, but full service history. New MOT, 6 months road tax, new tyres, sunroof, power steering, air conditioning, electric windows, leather seats, air bag, and radio & CD player". It was just the means to an end for me in those days, but looking back I don't half miss them. Smoking about in old Granadas and Rover 800s was great fun. Best trade in ever was a last of line Rover SD1 Vitesse V8 in near perfect condition against a new Rover 75 V6. He must have been mad, but he made my day. That car was awesome.

agreed Lee. leave the paintwork alone, sort the tyre and exhaust, maybe a new 12 month ticket, wash & valet and move it on. the buyer could keep an eye out for an in-colour bumper and swap it themselves to improve the value of their purchase down the line. in a pricey market you don't want to sit on stock, when the market snaps back you could end up losing money.

As someone who has ended up spending far too much on making cars as mint as possible, only for it to be essentially a waste of time/money/effort at the end I'd have done the same as you. It's a decent car - it'll probably be a first car for someone in truth so an iffy bumper really doesn't matter. If it were a more high end car then you can argue it's worth making as good as it can be but on a little hatchback it isn't worth it.

I had an aygo, and one day the oil light came on so I brought it to the garage. When thebmechanic put thebdi stick in, there was no oil at all in the engine. I felt terrible that I hadn't noticed because I really do try to keep my cars maintained, but the little thing had been going along with absolutely no sign of a problem, no smoke, no weird noises, nothing. Put a gallon of oil in, light went off and no sign it was worse for wear. If they made a 4 wheel drive version, that thing would go up everest.

Am I the only one who sees this as the modern equivalent of the VW beetle? It's cheap, relliable and popular. Parts are also cheap and readily available. They're easy to work on too because they're just so simple. I think the most complicated part is the variable valve timing but even that is generally relliable. I've heard a few people have issues with the timing chain tensioners but that is pretty common on most cars with timing chains. I need to replace the valve cover seal on mine with 105,000 miles. It's only a seep but gives me a good excuse to have a feel of the timing chain tension and potentially check valve clearances which I skipped on the service interval as I've never had the valve cover off.

I came here, whilst looking for something else, as I have just brought a Toyota Yago. It’s not the first car in this model that I have heard. I had a citron C1 but someone run into that and totalled it it was parked I wasn’t in it. So I thought once I’ve got the insurance, it was best to go back and get the same car couldn’t find a C1 in a 14 plate so opted for the better option with a Toyota badge. Only cost me £3400. Only has 39,500 miles on the clock. Must’ve been driven by an old lady it did have one lady driver before me. When I checked the last service, it is recently had a new clutch and four new tires. So really, this is a bargain. Yes it was a good idea just to leave that car exactly how it was. No need to respray or paint.

[@carukchannel]

Thanks JMF

[@toms_garage]

That is impressive! I recently purchased an iQ

[@carukchannel]

Wow a iG, I have driven one of them it was like driving a go kart lol, really interesting car. Also, I am sure aston martin did a rebadge version of it back in the day

[@toms_garage]

@@carukchannel Yeah the Cygnet, I actually seen 2 Cygnets in 1 day about 2 weeks ago. They are quite fun, mine is an automatic so it is quite noisy.

[@carukchannel]

@@toms_garage Cygent, yes thats the one, just looked online, can be purchased for £35k a steal lol,

[@toms_garage]

@@carukchannel wow that is more than I was expecting...

[@TacticalKeyboardOperator]

injectors from a 1.6 yaris and a remap will take the hp above 90 which doesnt sound like much (standed being 67hp) but its power to weight what you feel and that takes it around 110hp per tonne a 1.8petrol focus mk1 hatch is 90hp per tonne .. roundabout not exact

[@carukchannel]

I have heard of this modification and tempted to try it out on a old ripper we may have one day 😁👍

[@TacticalKeyboardOperator]

@@carukchannel +100kg drivers puts it about the same power to weight as honda accord 2003 2.0-i-vtec-sport-4d 152hp

[@vBDKv]

Aigo/C1/107 great little city car(s) that is cheap to drive, cheap to repair and cheap in insurance - That's about it. Electrical issues, rust (especially at the top front), clutch issues. Meh.

[@barriewilliams4526]

I've got one of these, brilliant little cars👍The only thing I don't like is the woolly steering....

[@carukchannel]

Thanks for watching barrie

[@stendecstretcher5678]

I agree 100% just get the few jobs done and move it on quick.

[@carukchannel]

Now sold, and profit taken, went straight away so happy result, thanks for watching stendec

New subscriber here Lee. Like your content and your style. You’re keeping it ‘real’ as they say and not being pretentious or trying to be funny like some channels. Keep up the good work mate. 👍

[@carukchannel]

thanks maz very kind words, glad your enjoying the content and thanks for the sub

[@flippingcarsrepairs]

Totaly agree no fakeness just raw 👍👍👍

[@Yorkmedia1]

Your doing the right thing by the car I wouldn’t paint it myself sell it as is price to sell quickly

[@carukchannel]

Agree, hopefully it sells quickly if priced sensible

[@muhammadislam0000]

Please do a review on the mk1/mk2 Yaris, both extremely popular cheap cars

[@carukchannel]

i like the yaris mk1 will try get one in during the new year Muhammad, thanks for watching

[@mr.pac.4614]

I wouldn’t repaint the bodywork either. If I was looking to buy a good cheap car, those bits wouldn’t worry me. Its a good honest car. It’s a ten year old car so it’s not going to be perfect.😊

[@carukchannel]

Yes agree, we did not paint it in the end and sold it straight away which was great

[@micheals1992]

I've owned this very same car (2012 Aygo fire) since 2014. I bought it with 10,000 miles for £5,450... 8 years later with 102,000 miles on the clock now and it still runs great. The weakest point of this car for me is the exhaust system.... I'm on my 3rd rear muffler and had to replace the center pipe once so on the 2nd center pipe. I coated my muffler in silver exhaust paint before I fitted it so hopefully it'll last a bit longer. Just wish I'd thought to so the same with the center pipe! Its a bit of a family tradition to own cars until they die in my family, my uncle used to have a Ford Granada with 300,000 miles. I'm hoping my Aygo lasts that long to dispell the myth in my family that small engines won't last. I under body the seal the car with waxoyl based paint every year in areas that look like they could be problematic before and after winter, To hopefully prevent any issues arising.

[@carukchannel]

sounds like your taking good care of it, key points we see on the mot corrosion wise is the rear sills and inner arch area, hit them hard with some sort of protection like your doing and it should keep the nasty stuff away for long time. Your right about the exhaust back boxes we do change a lot of them, the engine produces a lot of water and seems to break the internals and rot out very quickly, however £60 for a backbox is not the end of the world. thanks for watching michael and the comment 👍

[@onlyme972]

Vactan is great for coating the rear beam and front subframe. Once a year works magic

[@neilhopkins8673]

Hi, have you replaced the clutch on yours?

[@micheals1992]

@@neilhopkins8673 114,000 miles now and still on the original clutch

[@JohanSporrner]

Aygo actually often just come with one key, I found that out when searching around since all I was intrested in just had the one key. Strange standard but for Aygo apparently it's a thing. At least in Sweden.

[@SmithyMoto2]

I did have a Citroen c1 and loved it so much that I went and brought an aygo when the Citroen went, (got written off as drunk driver crashed into it) as a new driver or something cheap and gets you from a to b, it’s brilliant, never had any issues with either cars. Most people my age want big flashy cars, lots of power, but I just want something that gets me to where I need to go, and it’s cheap as chips to run and tax too. Like I don’t need to have lots of power or all the mod cons as at the end of the day I’m driving and concentrating on the road, why should I spend a lot of money on a car that has lots of electrical things and has more power, when it’s just more things that could go wrong and could be costly to repair, at the end of the day all the cars do the same things, which is drive. Would always recommend this little bugs. Also, the groups and chats on Facebook always have answers to any questions of these cars.

[@micheals1992]

The orange Aygo sells for more then the white and black ones of the same spec

[@barryrathbone]

What do you mean old?!! I’ve listened to Radio2 since I was a teenager and that’s many decades ago !

[@carukchannel]

over 35s barry 😁

[@andreknudsne7648]

This gen is cheap but have alot of problems.. many of the seals can be bad, so water gets though antenna, doors, hatch down to wheel well in the trunk.. and the clutch is just weak..same with the waterpump. Give a little more money and buy one from 2011 and after:)

[@EppingForest304]

Interesting & informative 👍

Does the automatic clutch break or is it good?

Got an Aygo ice in April same year as this,, 43000k on clock, paid 4.250 for it and it's awful. Sounds very loud and tinny,, now boot is leaking soopping wet! And not covered by guarantee 😐

To be fair this is the first one I have found that was not cracked 😁
