2010 Toyota IQ 1.3L Petrol · YY59 KFE

The vehicle is currently in a roadworthy condition following a clean MOT pass on May 8 2026 at 81,397 miles. The maintenance trend shows a clear improvement after a significant failure in mid-2024. While the history indicates periods of neglected mechanical and lighting issues, the three most recent tests recorded zero defects or advisories, suggesting the previous owner is proactive in addressing identified faults once they are flagged by the tester. The mileage profile is notably low for a sixteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,100 miles per year. There is a visible spike in usage between June 2024 and July 2025, where the car covered over 9,000 miles in just thirteen months. However, usage has returned to a more conservative pace with roughly 3,100 miles over the last year. This low annual mileage suggests the vehicle has suffered more age-related degradation of rubber components rather than high-mile wear. A buyer should specifically inspect the offside front drive shaft boot to ensure the replacement noted after the June 2024 failure at 68,985 miles remains intact and that the new boot has not torn. The 2023 advisory regarding low brake fluid levels and thin rear pads warrants a physical check of the brake system for leaks or excessive wear on the calipers. Given the vehicle's age and intermittent low use, the inspector should also check for corrosion on the exhaust and suspension bushings, as these components often perish when a car sits stationary for long periods.
