I'm sure I'd feel the same. It's frustrating.

I agree with most of what you say, but parking the street I am on the options are West or east facing. I am now just short of my target set voltage of 14.22 volts (this is adjustable so its my prefered maximum). The difficult part is setting the up the MPPT (Maximum Power Point Tracking). Todays results.

3 owners in 3 years, it's up in the miles for what he paid it missed its first service in 2022 (poss due to lockdown) by 4 months service history can be looked up online via My Toyota (click on account at the top right of the page) https://www.toyota.co.uk/#/ its not unheard of clutch needs doing under 60K miles if driven in slow traffic a lot clutch price is about right for a main stealer, the belt price done at the same time is extracting the urine, 0.7 book time = 37-42 min of labour for a 10 min job while in the engine bay your car comes back as AYGO 1.0 with MMT gearbox (MT, 5FS) Built 02/2021

Thanks for your help. As I said, have tried a water repellent but with limited success, always worth asking if anyone has found a sensible solution. It seems to me that Toyota have ( quite rightly) concentrated on the major items e.g. drive train. The car drives so well, it just has a number of ergonomic type niggles which other manufacturers have found much better implementations, so why not copy them?? Very good car, very poor documentation, as for the software.....

With the CTEK smart charger, it is not a problem to always leave it connected to the car battery and disconnect it before driving.

This confirms it has the X-Shift aka Multi Mode Transmission or MMT. This is a manual gearbox with automated clutch - sometimes described as a semi automatic. So not a full automatic or CVT

Yes, my bad, you are right. I'm just disappointed and exhausted about this.

Thanks for your help, I want the notifications, just not as beeps and/or a little tolerance e.g. get speed down within xx Yards or allow to creep over by 1 or 2 mph for a few seconds. What is particularly irritating is when it's the cruise control not keeping to the set speed.

What sound deadening pads did you use for the wheel archers? Is it weather proof? I did think of applying sound deadening to the doors but a bit concerned about removing the door cards, as I worry they will squeak.

That's a rather disingenuous stretch, there's no need to try and put words in my mouth just because I hold a different view to you; It's perfectly fine for disagreement - I'm just talking about the effect the ULEZ has had on the air quality in London, i.e. minimal. IIRC this is even backed up by KHAAAN's own commissioned studies, which he disavowed because it didn't fit with his agenda... As someone who actually lives and works here, I can honestly say if anything the areas I traverse regularly are actually worse since things like ULEZ and LTNs have come into force. This is not surprising since traffic is being forced along fewer roads, concentrating it. I'm sure the places they put monitoring stations to show improvement, well away from these areas, measure an improvement, until they want to implement another scheme, then they'll measure it at these higher concentration areas. It's too easy for them to manipulate the figures, and after he rejected his own survey's findings because they didn't reflect what he wanted them to, I find it difficult to trust later released figures that suddenly do...

Thanks guys, they did me a bit of a deal and a fair trade in price for my current car. So I’m all happy. I see some of these blue ones had privacy glass on the back windows and some don’t.. I think I will get that done at a good local place. My last few cars have all had them and it’s good for my kids to stop the sun on hot days, plus I think it looks good with the blue and black contrast

The Toyota main dealer was saying that it needed Battery condition / drive belts i Aux belt cracked and perished requires new belt 0.7 Price £100.90 —————— i MMT clutch burnt out and worn requires new clutch kit and flywheel with MMT recalibration and set up 6.0 £1,448.75 So which model does this confirm the car to be ? im so so sorry , my Son and myself know nothing about cars ! 😞

Hiya, We were told it was a normal automatic car, as my son had only ever passed his test for an automatic car which we told them. Just checking on all the paperwork from Motorpoint , it’s just described as a Toyota Aygo Hatchback - From the finance company , it’s described as TOYOTA AYGO HATCHBACK 1.0 VVT-i X-Tr And the V5 as AYGO X-TREND TSS VVT-I CVT

We were told it was and that it would be serviced before we got it , as it was being sent up from their branch in Birmingham . It was stamped once in the book at a Birmingham garage on 24/09/22 and had done 24,028 miles. But we were told that it would be serviced before being sent up to us , and that all the details are now entered electronically into your cars computer system and can only be retrieved by authorised dealers/garages. Nothing had been flagged up so it had just been a straightforward service! The sales guy had said that the car was immaculate inside n out, which it was and had been very well looked after by its owner ! When it was sold to my son on 31/08/23 it had 38,928 miles. My Son is it’s 3rd owner

That's the choice of people and organisations ....

My favourite Aygo colour 👍🏻

And ignored

Nice car.

I tend to wipe the lens before I get into the car. However, you can get a lot of water coming off the boot if you’ve coated the bodywork. I’ve recently used Maguiar’s Hybrid Ceramic and it’s like looking through a waterfall.

So after much deliberation I bit the bullet today and bought a lovely blue Aygo at a Toyota Dealer not to far from me. I have been thinking of going back for a while. It’s a 2016 X- Cite Limited Edition, in great condition with a full Toyota service history. The miles are a little higher at 76k, but it’s clearly been well looked after. I have been out of an aygo for 3 years and I’m really looking forward to the simplicity, frugality and whipping around with a smile 🙂 . I have had a few Aygos in the past and this generation was my favourite (No disrespect at all to the new one). I love the level of tech compared to the first series (phone connectivity, DAB, touch screen, reversing camera, limiter etc.. whilst still being go cart like. An added bonus, this one is £0 tax which helps in the current climate £ I pick up in a week, have asked for some rubber mats and a boot liner to be ordered in and I’m good to go.. I absolutely cant wait. Stu

is it fully dealer serviced ?

Agree with Roy the car misreads the speed signs or does not see the changes. (Unless the ‘24 version is better than the ‘21 version) I use WAZE and the speed signs, I’ve found, are very good.

Which is incorrect as no second generation Aygo (2014-2021) was available as a CVT. Looks like the dealer who originally first registered the car back in 21 may have made an error. So did Motorpoint advertise it as a CVT or an X-Shift?

Sorry - this is part of his V5 registration document ☺️

Hi Cathy, the fact that your son bought the car from Motorpoint 6 months ago (around August/September 2023) affects his consumer rights in one key Way, Right to Reject, under the Consumer Rights Act 2015 there's a short term right to reject a faulty good within 30 days of purchase for a full refund. Unfortunately, since it's been 6 months, this right is no longer applicable. However, there are still strong consumer rights that can help your son in this situation, Goods must be "as described", "of satisfactory quality", and "fit for purpose": The Consumer Rights Act still applies for a reasonable period beyond 6 months. A car with a burnt clutch and cracked auxiliary belt shortly after purchase wouldn't be considered of satisfactory quality or fit for purpose. Burden of Proof, within the first 6 months of ownership, the burden of proof is on the seller (Motorpoint) to demonstrate the fault wasn't present at the time of sale. This strengthens your son's case as the rapid failure suggests pre-existing issues. Here's what your son can do Contact Toyota and Motorpoint about a warranty claim, highlighting the car's condition at purchase and the rapid failure. Gather Documents,Proof of purchase, service history (if any), and the repair quote/invoice are crucial. Focus on the Timeline, emphasise the car's immaculate condition upon purchase and the sudden problems shortly after. This suggests pre-existing issues, not wear and tear from your son's driving. Consumer Advice: Seek further guidance from Citizens Advice (https://www.citizensadvice.org.uk/) for free and impartial support on consumer rights claims. Remember, being outside the 30-day rejection window doesn't mean your son has no rights. The focus should be on the car's condition not being up to standard and the rapid failure after purchase. With a strong case and clear communication, there's a good chance of getting a repair covered under warranty or through consumer rights.Hope this helps
