2011 TOYOTA IQ1.0L Petrol

The 2011 Toyota IQ demonstrates stable roadworthiness with no defects recorded in its most recent MOT on 2025-09-22 at 51,671 miles. Previous tests from 2024-09-17 and 2023-09-20 also showed no issues, indicating consistent maintenance. The dual 2024-09-17 entries—once passed and once failed—likely reflect administrative errors or duplicate submissions, as no defects were noted in either. No recurring mechanical faults or structural concerns are evident from the record, suggesting the vehicle has been well-maintained. The mileage of 51,671 miles over 15 years equates to approximately 3,445 miles annually, significantly below average for its age. This low usage could imply infrequent operation, which may affect components like tyres, fluids, and electrical systems. Notably, the 2023-09-20 test at 45,593 miles and 2022-09-16 test at 43,057 miles show a 2,536-mile gap, raising questions about potential periods of inactivity. However, the absence of corrosion, suspension issues, or brake defects in all tests mitigates immediate concerns about neglect. A physical inspection should focus on components prone to degradation during inactivity, such as suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake calipers for binding. The low mileage may also mean tyres and wiper blades could be older than expected, warranting closer examination. While the MOT history shows no critical failures, the sparse data from 2024-09-17 and the vehicle’s age necessitate a thorough check of exhaust emissions, structural integrity, and fluid levels to confirm continued compliance.
