2012 Toyota IQ 1.0L Petrol · LS12 JZF

The 2012 Toyota iQ presents a stable maintenance trend with a clean pass recorded on 12 May 2025 at 61,175 miles. Annual MOT tests from May 2022 through May 2025 show no defects or advisories, indicating the vehicle has been kept to a roadworthy standard. The lone anomaly remains a failure on 10 May 2023 at 51,860 miles with no defects listed, reversed by a pass the next day at 51,879 miles, which suggests a procedural or administrative matter rather than mechanical deterioration. Mileage accumulation sits low for a fourteen-year-old car. The odometer advanced from 46,772 miles at the 4 May 2022 test to 51,879 miles by 11 May 2023, then to 56,562 miles on 7 May 2024 and 61,175 miles on 12 May 2025. That equates to roughly four to five thousand miles per year, reflecting gentle use. No extended gaps appear in the testing record, and the back-to-back tests in May 2023 show only nineteen miles covered between the failure and the pass, hinting the car was not subjected to real road use in that interval. Despite the absence of recorded faults, a buyer should still commission a physical inspection of age-sensitive components. Rubber suspension bushes, tyres, and brake hoses may exhibit perishing from low-mileage standing rather than frictional wear. The tester noted no corrosion or structural integrity issues, yet the underside, coil springs, and brake discs should be examined for surface rust caused by infrequent movement. The unexplained May 2023 failure warrants a check of the DVSA database or seller paperwork to confirm no hidden mechanical defect was omitted from the advisory field.
