2010 Toyota IQ 1.3L Petrol · SL10 ABB

This Toyota iQ presents a stable and unusually clean maintenance profile. The most recent MOT on 16 September 2025 at 79,009 miles resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a consistent trend of clean passes dating back to 2022, suggesting the vehicle has been kept in a roadworthy state without the recurring mechanical failures often seen in cars of this vintage. The mileage is low for a 16 year old vehicle, averaging roughly 4,938 miles per year. There was a notable increase in usage between September 2022 and September 2023, where the odometer rose from 51,082 to 59,231 miles. A more significant jump occurred between September 2023 and September 2024, with the mileage increasing by nearly 12,000 miles to reach 71,361. Despite this increased activity, the vehicle maintained a clean bill of health. The absence of any advisories regarding suspension bushes, brake disc corrosion, or exhaust leaks over the last four years is atypical for a 2010 model. While the record is clean, the low overall mileage and periods of varying use mean a buyer should still check for perished rubber components and tyre age. Specifically, inspect the tyre sidewalls for cracking and check the brake fluid condition, as these degrade over time regardless of mileage. The record shows a failure and immediate pass on 11 September 2024 at 71,361 miles, though no specific defects were listed in the provided data. This likely indicates a minor administrative error or a quick fix of a consumable item. Given the lack of structural or mechanical flags in the DVSA history, the primary focus for a physical inspection should be on chassis corrosion and the operational smoothness of the drivetrain.
