2010 Toyota IQ 1.3L Petrol · BJ10 OJM

The vehicle is currently roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend that has transitioned from clean records to minor preventative requirements. In the most recent test in July 2025 at 90,659 miles, the car passed despite advisories for worn front suspension arm bushes on both the offside and nearside. While these issues indicate the beginning of component degradation in the drivetrain, the overall structural integrity and major systems remained compliant with DVSA standards. The mileage profile is notably low for a 16-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,666 miles per year. There is a significant gap of 12,252 miles recorded between June 2021 (71,056 miles) and June 2022 (83,304 miles). Since then, the usage has remained consistent, averaging roughly 2,500 to 2,700 miles annually, suggesting the car has not been subjected to high-frequency stress typically associated with heavy commuting. A prospective buyer should focus their physical inspection on the front suspension assembly, as the 2025 advisory regarding the arm bushes suggests these rubber components are nearing the end of their functional life. Given the low mileage, it is also advisable to check for brake caliper seizing or surface corrosion, which can occur on vehicles that sit for extended periods. Additionally, the headlamp lens clouding noted in 2025 should be monitored to ensure light output does not degrade below legal requirements over time.
