Toyota Iq: MOT pass rate and reliability data

The Toyota Iq passes its MOT first time more often than the average UK car, by 4.8 percentage points. These figures come from the DVSA's full year of anonymised MOT results, covering 17,007 individual Toyota Iq tests. Nothing here is an estimate or a survey.

The numbers

First-time pass rate81.5%
UK national average76.7%
Difference+4.8 points
Tests analysed17,007
Average mileage at test69,430 miles
Average year of manufacture2010
Reliability rank1,395 of 2,005 models

What this means if you are buying one

A 81.5% first-time pass rate means roughly 19 in every 100 Toyota Iqs presented for MOT fail on the first attempt. That is better than average, so a well-kept example is a reasonably safe used buy. The average Toyota Iq tested had covered 69,430 miles and was built around 2010.

What this means at salvage auction

Pass rate is a proxy for what a car costs to keep on the road. On a Toyota Iq bought as a repairable salvage, the mechanical side is less likely to spring surprises, so your repair estimate should hold up reasonably well.

Before you bid: run the lot through the analyzer, check the car's own record, check the mileage, decode the VIN, and if it carries a marker use the write-off value calculator. Or compare it against another model.

Looking at a specific Toyota Iq rather than the model in general? The free check covers its MOT and mileage history, and the full HPI report confirms the insurance write-off category, outstanding finance and whether it is recorded stolen, from licensed data for 5 credits. Already own one that has been damaged? Work out whether fixing it beats selling it with the repair or scrap calculator, and see what damaged Toyota Iqs actually sold for at UK salvage auction.

From 24,414 DVSA-tracked Toyota Iq tests, 2024. DVSA testers marked 3.48% of these flagged Toyota Iq defects as "dangerous", meaning the tester judged the car unsafe to drive away, against 4.97% nationally.

Toyota Iq pass rate by model year

Pass rates fall steadily as cars age, so the model year matters as much as the model. First-time pass rate for each Toyota Iq year:
