TOYOTA IQ2009 · 1.0L Petrol

The 2009 Toyota iQ presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, confirmed by the most recent DVSA test on 13 November 2025 at 93,182 miles which recorded no defects. Prior tests on 10 December 2024 at 85,084 miles and 31 October 2023 at 80,209 miles also passed cleanly. The vehicle shows no worsening mechanical faults across the available record. Recorded mileage sits at 93,182 against an age of roughly seventeen years, equating to about 5,481 miles per annum which is low for the model year. The gap between the 21 December 2022 test at 77,580 miles and the 31 October 2023 test at 80,209 miles shows light annual use of under 3,000 miles, with similar low accumulation through to 2025. The sparse five-entry history contains no advisories on suspension bushes, brake discs, corrosion, or exhaust emissions, suggesting either careful storage or limited inspection depth from previous keepers. One anomaly requires scrutiny: the 31 October 2023 entry shows both a fail and a pass at identical mileage of 80,209 with no defects logged on either. This points to an administrative re-test rather than a genuine mechanical fault, but a buyer should verify the V5C and DVSA portal to confirm no suppressed defect data exists. Given the clean record and low mileage, in-person checks should target typical iQ weak points not always captured by MOT: front coil springs for fracture, rear suspension arm corrosion, and brake caliper binding after standing periods. Inspect tyre sidewall cracking from age rather than wear, and confirm the exhaust system has no internal degradation despite passing emissions.
