2011 Toyota IQ 1.0L Petrol · PN11 JYV

The vehicle remains roadworthy but the maintenance history shows a worsening trend regarding structural integrity and exhaust efficiency. While the most recent test in March 2026 at 71,856 miles passed, the tester identified a recurring minor central exhaust leak and a new oil leak from the offside front driveshaft seal. These issues follow similar defects noted in the 2025 and 2024 tests, indicating that while the car passes, underlying mechanical faults are being monitored rather than fully rectified. The mileage profile is notably low for a fifteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,800 miles per year. The data shows consistent, low-intensity usage, moving from 63,168 miles in February 2023 to 71,856 miles in March 2026. This low mileage suggests less wear on the drivetrain and engine but often correlates with the accelerated degradation of rubber components and the onset of corrosion, which is evident in the structural-related advisories appearing in the later years de-age-related failures. A buyer must conduct a close inspection of the rear vehicle structure and mounting points, as corrosion within 30cm of the mounting has been flagged in two consecutive tests during 2025 and 2026. The 2023 failure revealed a fractured offside rear coil spring and worn suspension arm bushes, and the 2024 advisory for a deteriorated front anti-roll bar ball joint dust cover suggests the entire suspension system is reaching the end of its age-related life. The newly reported oil leak at the offside front driveshaft seal requires immediate verification to ensure it does not evolve into a more significant failure.
