Our Verdict
A sensible choice for urban driving, pro
When inspecting this specific black iQ, pay close attention to the tyres. The 2025 MOT noted both front tyres were worn close to the legal limit, so ensure the current set has plenty of tread and isn't wearing unevenly. You should also check the windscreen wipers, as these were flagged as defective in the 2025 test.
Given the 2024 advisory regarding a 'tyre dragging on turn', it is vital to confirm that the wheel alignment (tracking) has been professionally corrected. Ask the seller for evidence of any suspension or steering work performed to address this. Finally, check the headlamp lenses; the 2026 MOT noted a 'product on the lens', which could indicate early signs of oxidation or simply a cleaning residue.
The 1.0-litre engine is designed for efficiency, making this a low-cost option for city commuting. Expect competitive fuel economy and a low insurance group, typical for a small-capacity Toyota petrol engine.
Tax and maintenance costs for this model are generally predictable. While the MOT history doesn't show expensive mechanical failures, budget for regular consumables like tyres and wipers, which have appeared in recent records. Estimated annual running costs are relatively low due to the small engine size.
Focus your inspection on the front end of the vehicle. Specifically, check the condition of the front tyres and look for uneven wear patterns that might suggest the alignment issues mentioned in the 2024 MOT record still persist.
Examine the headlamps for clarity; while the 2026 MOT passed them with a note about a 'product on the lens', you want to ensure the light output remains strong. Additionally, test the windscreen wipers thoroughly to ensure they have been replaced following the 2025 failure.
This 2009 Toyota iQ features a 998cc petrol engine and has covered 60,372 miles as of February 2026. The MOT history is relatively stable, showing no major failures, though it has required attention for tyres and wiper blades in recent years. The mileage is notably low for a vehicle of this age, which may offer better value than higher-mileage alternatives.
No aggregate reliability data is available for the Toyota iQ to provide a specific model comparison.
