2009 Toyota IQ 1.0L Petrol · DA09 BHD

The Toyota iQ presents as roadworthy following the most recent test on 12 December 2025 at 87,980 miles, where the vehicle passed with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend is stable across the available history, with no advisories or mechanical faults flagged at any stage. The duplicate failed entries logged on the same dates in 2024 and 2025 show no recorded defects, indicating administrative or presentation anomalies rather than genuine mechanical failure. Recorded mileage sits at 87,980 against a 2009 build, averaging roughly 5,175 miles per year. The car covered 78,270 miles at the July 2023 test, then 82,503 at the October 2024 failure and 82,505 at the subsequent pass, before reaching 87,980 by December 2025. This reflects light annual use with no rapid accumulation. The clean record across all three years suggests either careful storage or minimal routine running, though standing time can conceal perished rubber components not visible in a pass result. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the vehicle's seventeen-year age and low but intermittent use. The absence of corrosion or structural advisories in the MOT data is reassuring, yet Toyota iQ subframes are prone to hidden rust where moisture gathers. Verify the duplicated failure entries with DVSA to confirm no suppressed defect data exists. Check tyre sidewalls for cracking from prolonged standing and test the handbrake mechanism, as low-mileage cars often develop binding calipers through disuse rather than wear.
