2009 Toyota IQ 1.0L Petrol · AD09 OUU

The 2009 Toyota iQ presents as roadworthy following its most recent MOT pass on 15 August 2025 at 134,207 miles with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend is stable across the last three annual cycles, with the vehicle clearing its test in the latest examination and showing no advisories or recorded faults. This indicates the car has entered its late service life in a mechanically sound condition per DVSA testing standards. Recorded mileage rose from 126,409 in August 2023 to 129,517 by August 2024, then to 134,207 by August 2025. That equates to roughly 3,100 miles between the 2023 and 2024 tests and about 4,690 miles to the 2025 test, both well under the 7,895-mile annual average for the vehicle's age. The sparse but clean record shows light use with no rapid accumulation or unexplained gaps, suggesting gentle private ownership rather than high-load commuting. The history shows two failed tests on 11 August 2023 and 8 August 2024 at 126,409 and 129,517 miles respectively, each followed by a pass on the same day with no defects logged. This pattern points to administrative or documentation issues at the testing station rather than mechanical faults, as the tester recorded no defects on either failure. No recurring suspension bushes, brake disc, corrosion, or exhaust emission problems appear in the data. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity and underbody corrosion given the car's 17-year age and the absence of any advisory entries that might have flagged early wear. Verify the front coil springs, binding calipers, and tyre sidewall condition in person, since the MOT record offers no insight into consumable wear between tests. The clean recent pass supports a sound purchase, but age-related rust remains the principal unseen risk.
