2014 TOYOTA IQ1.0L PETROL

The vehicle maintains a roadworthy status, though the most recent inspection indicates a shift from a previously clean record. While the car passed the December 2025 test at 21,179 miles, the tester flagged all four tyres for slight damage or perishing. This represents a departure from the perfectly stable maintenance trend observed between 2021 and 2024, where the vehicle presented with no recorded defects or advisories. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a 12-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 1,765 miles per year. Between December 2021 at 14,077 miles and December 2024 at 19,208 miles, the car covered only 5,131 miles, showing consistent low-intensity use. The jump of 1,971 miles between the 2024 and 2025 tests suggests the vehicle is used for short-distance trips or potentially sits stationary for extended periods. Such low mileage often leads to mechanical degradation of rubber-based components despite the lack of wear on the drivetrain. A buyer must prioritise a physical inspection of the tyres, as the 2025 advisory regarding perishing suggests the rubber compound is failing due to age rather than tread depth. Because the vehicle travels infrequently, the brakes should be checked for corrosion or seized calipers, which frequently occur when cars are not driven regularly enough. Additionally, inspecting the suspension bushes and structural integrity for corrosion is vital, as low-mileage cars can still suffer from rot and dry rot that does not manifest in mileage-related wear patterns.
