2010 Toyota IQ 1.3L Petrol · AF10 OSX

The vehicle currently holds a valid roadworthiness status, following a clean pass in February 2026 at 160,127 miles. This represents an improving maintenance trend, as the mechanical defects and alignment issues identified in previous years have been addressed. While the history shows a pattern of minor failures, the most recent test with zero defects suggests the current owner is proactively rectifying flagged issues before they escalate into mechanical failures. The mileage profile is consistent with the vehicle's age, averaging approximately 10,000 miles per year over its sixteen-year life. The record shows 8,944 miles covered between January 2024 and February 2025, and another 11,725 miles between February 2025 and February 2026. This steady usage indicates regular operation rather than long periods of stagnation, which is generally beneficial for maintaining rubber seals and preventing brake components from dry-lining or seizing. An in-person inspection should focus on the front suspension geometry, specifically the noted wear on the offside front Macpherson strut pin or bush recorded in February 2025. Although this was cleared, high-mileage components in this area often suffer from accelerated wear. The buyer should also verify the headlamp alignment and wiper blade efficiency, as previous tests flagged misting and poor clearing performance. Given the vehicle's age, a thorough check for structural corrosion on the sills and suspension mounting points is essential to ensure the chassis integrity remains sound despite the clean recent MOT.
