2010 Toyota IQ 1.0L Petrol · MW59 LZV

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its latest MOT in September 2024 at 149,861 miles. The maintenance trend shows signs of improvement following a significant failure just two days prior to that test. In the initial September attempt, the car failed due to an insecure exhaust system and an exhaust blow that prevented emissions testing. The fact that these were addressed immediately to achieve a pass with no recorded defects indicates a proactive response to critical safety and environmental failures. At 149,861 miles over 16 years, the Toyota iq averages approximately 9,366 miles per year, which aligns with typical usage patterns for a vehicle of this age. The record shows consistent movement, with roughly 8,500 miles covered between the 2022 and 2023 tests, and another 6,300 miles in the most recent year. This regular interval suggests the vehicle has been used steadily rather than sitting for long periods, which generally helps maintain internal seals and mechanical components. A buyer must pay close attention to the suspension and braking system due to recurring issues in the history. The September 2023 test flagged corrosion on both rear coil springs and a binding nearside rear service brake, while the 2022 record noted pitted front brake discs. While these appear to have been serviced, the presence of patches of underside corrosion in 2022 warrants a thorough physical inspection of the chassis and structural integrity to ensure rust has not progressed beyond surface level. The exhaust system should also be visually inspected to confirm the repair made after the 2024 failure remains secure and free of leaks.
