2009 Toyota IQ 1.0L Petrol · PX09 VLP

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2025-06-10 at 38,744 miles recorded a pass with no defects, but an identical date also shows a failure with no recorded issues, creating ambiguity. Previous tests from 2024-06-04 to 2022-06-09 consistently passed with no defects, indicating a stable maintenance trend. No recurring mechanical issues or structural concerns were flagged in the history, suggesting the car has been well-maintained in terms of roadworthiness. The vehicle’s mileage of 38,744 miles over 17 years equates to an average of 2,279 miles annually, significantly below the UK average for its age. This low usage suggests either infrequent operation or prolonged periods of inactivity, which can accelerate corrosion or component degradation. The MOT records show no gaps between tests, with annual checks from 2022 to 2025, but the sparse data offers limited insight into long-term wear patterns. A buyer should inspect the vehicle for signs of corrosion, particularly in the underbody and bodyshell, given the low mileage and potential inactivity. Check the battery and electrical systems for age-related failure, as well as the suspension components for stiffness or wear, which can occur without regular use. Despite the MOT history showing no issues, the lack of high-mileage wear does not eliminate the need for a thorough pre-purchase inspection to confirm the car’s mechanical and structural integrity.
