2009 Toyota IQ 1.0L Petrol · 6572 RO

The 2009 Toyota iQ presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 26 March 2026 at 72,185 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the prior annual tests in April 2025 and March 2024 also passed cleanly. The only blemish is a failed test on 28 March 2025 at 70,342 miles, reversed three days later at 70,343 miles with a pass and no defects listed, which suggests an administrative or minor pre-check rejection rather than a substantive mechanical fault. Recorded mileage sits at 72,185 against an age of roughly 17 years, averaging about 4,246 miles per year. The DVSA entries show light and consistent use: 62,895 miles in March 2023, 67,908 in March 2024, 70,343 in April 2025, and 72,185 in March 2026. No rapid accumulation or unexplained gaps appear. Low annual mileage of this order often means longer stationary periods, which can allow corrosion or perished rubber components to develop even where the test record stays clean. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake calipers, since the MOT history records no advisories that would flag wear on these items. Standing time typical of low-mileage cars accelerates degradation of flexible joints and can promote structural rust on sills and subframes not visible in a pass result. Given the absence of recorded defects across five years of testing, previous keepers appear to have maintained the vehicle to a basic road-legal standard. The brief 2025 failure with immediate re-pass implies no lasting neglect. Verify service history and check underneath for corrosion before purchase.
