Every Toyota Iq model year

Pass rates fall as cars age, so the only fair comparison for a 2010 car is other cars of the same age. The full run for the Toyota Iq:

What this means if you are buying a 2010 Iq

The 2010 sits close to the Toyota Iq average, so there is no strong model-year signal either way. Judge the individual car on its own history. Check the exact car with the free MOT history checker before you buy, and run its VIN and mileage through our free VIN decoder and clocking check.

What a 16-year-old car fails on

A 2010 car is 16 years old now, and age drives the failure mix more than the badge does. Across all cars tested, these are the categories that actually cause failures:

  • Lights and electrical: 10.36% of all cars tested
  • Suspension: 8.65% of all cars tested
  • Tyres: 6.23% of all cars tested
  • Brakes: 6.1% of all cars tested
  • Visibility: wipers, washers, glass: 4.65% of all cars tested
  • Body, chassis and structure: 3.18% of all cars tested

That is a shade above the middle of the range, still ordinary wear rather than a red flag, but worth checking against the service book for the car's age. On a 2010 Toyota Iq the average at test was 74,759 miles, so treat anything far above that as a car that has worked harder than its peers, and anything far below as one worth checking for the faults that come from standing still.

The strongest year for this model is 2014 at 88.8%, and the weakest in our data is 2009 at 79.9%. That 8.9 point spread across the model's life is why comparing a 2010 car against a newer one tells you very little.
