2009 Toyota IQ 1.0L Petrol · FP09 VOK

The 2009 Toyota iQ presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 15 January 2026 at 29,205 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the four preceding annual tests from January 2023 to January 2025 also passed cleanly. The only blemish is a failed test on 10 January 2023 at 28,439 miles, reversed three days later on 13 January 2023 at identical mileage with a pass and no defects noted, which points to an administrative or retest correction rather than a mechanical fault. Recorded mileage sits at 29,205 miles against an approximate 17-year age, equating to roughly 1,718 miles per year. The odometer moved only 584 miles between the January 2023 tests and the January 2026 test, with just 163 miles added across 2024 and 2025. Such low annual accumulation suggests extended standing periods or very light urban use, though the clean record gives no evidence of neglected consumables or deferred repairs across the timeline provided. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the vehicle's age and likely long idle spells, as MOT passes do not measure worn rubber or corroding calipers absent an advisory. Drivetrain mounts and exhaust emissions hardware warrant a cold-start check for deterioration invisible in a clean test sheet. The absence of recurring advisories across three years indicates previous owners kept the iQ to a basic pass standard rather than addressing wear preemptively. Given the 2026 test is six months old as of today, the buyer faces minimal immediate MOT risk but should verify tyre sidewall condition and underbody structural integrity for rust before purchase.
