2009 Toyota IQ 1.0L Petrol · AF59 ONL

The 2009 Toyota IQ presents a stable roadworthiness profile, with no defects recorded in its last five consecutive MOT tests, including the most recent 2026-02-24 assessment at 55,170 miles. All prior tests from 2021 to 2024 also passed without issues, indicating consistent maintenance and no emerging mechanical concerns. The absence of advisories or failures suggests the vehicle has been well cared for, with no evidence of recurring faults or escalating risks in its recent history. The vehicle’s mileage of 55,170 miles over 17 years equates to an average of 3,245 miles annually, significantly below the UK’s typical annual average. This low usage aligns with the consistent MOT intervals and lack of wear-related defects. Notably, the 2021-09-17 test at 52,590 miles showed a 1,022-mile gap before the next test in 2022-09-15, which may reflect periods of inactivity. However, the subsequent tests maintained regularity, with no abrupt mileage surges that might indicate excessive wear on components like brakes or suspension. While the MOT record shows no structural or mechanical failures, the low mileage and age suggest potential risks in overlooked areas. Suspension bushes and coil springs may exhibit dry rot or stiffness, and the exhaust system could show corrosion despite passing emissions tests. A buyer should inspect for rust in the chassis or underbody, check brake discs for uneven wear, and verify fluid levels, as infrequent use might lead to degraded seals or stagnant fluids. The vehicle’s history implies careful stewardship, but physical inspection remains critical to confirm its condition.
