Build my inspection planToyota Aygo X · frequently asked questions
Is the Aygo X reliable?
Yes, mechanically it is straightforward and cheap to maintain.
Is the CVT worth stocking?
It suits urban retail buyers who want an automatic on a small budget.
What warranty applies?
Toyota's extended warranty continues with each qualifying dealer service; confirm by VIN.
Are running costs low?
Yes, insurance, tax and fuel are all very affordable.
Does the 1.0-litre engine use a timing belt or a timing chain?
The 1.0-litre three-cylinder engine uses a steel timing chain rather than a rubber cambelt. This is designed to last the lifetime of the vehicle and requires no scheduled replacement. However, adhering to the strict yearly oil change schedule is critical to prevent chain stretch and tensioner failure.
What are the standard service intervals for the Aygo X?
Toyota specifies routine service intervals of 10,000 miles or 12 months, whichever occurs first. Minor services cover oil and filter changes, while major services every 20,000 miles or two years include brake fluid and cabin filter replacement. Spark plugs require changing every 60,000 miles.
