2011 TOYOTA IQ1.0L Petrol

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, evidenced by a string of clean MOT results. The most recent test conducted in September 2025 at 20,672 miles passed with no defects or advisories, indicating that the car remains in good mechanical condition. This follows a period of consistent passing across the previous three years, suggesting that the vehicle has maintained its operational standards without any significant recurring mechanical failures or structural degradation. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a 15-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 1,378 miles per year. Data shows a steady but infrequent usage rate, such as 1,934 miles driven between August 2024 and September 2025, and another 1,355 miles recorded in the year preceding that. While this low mileage typically reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine, the long intervals between tests suggest the car has spent significant periods stationary, which can sometimes lead to age-related issues with perished rubber components, fluid degradation, or flat spots. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components affected by long storage periods rather than high-mile wear. Check the brake discs for surface corrosion or pitting and inspect the tyres for sidewall cracking or dry rot, as low use often masks these. Given the failure in February 2023 followed by an immediate pass on the same day, verify that the specific fault from that initial failure was properly rectified and not merely masked. Additionally, examine the chassis for structural rust, as the age of the vehicle makes oxidation a factor regardless of the low miles driven.
