Toyota IQ — MOT Reliability Overview

The Toyota IQ has an average MOT pass rate of 85.9%, which is 2.4 percentage points above the Toyota brand average of 83.5%. This is a strong result, indicating that the IQ is well-engineered and tends to age well mechanically. Owners can expect fewer surprises at MOT time.

The most common reasons a Toyota IQ fails its MOT are wiper blade missing or obviously not clearing the windscreen, a lamp missing, inoperative or in the case of a multiple light source more than 1/2 not functioning, a suspension joint dust cover missing or no longer prevents the ingress of dirt etc. If you are preparing your IQ for its MOT, checking these areas first could save you a retest fee. Our detailed fault analysis includes estimated repair costs for each failure type.

Before buying a used Toyota IQ, we recommend checking the full MOT history, write-off status, outstanding finance, and stolen vehicle status. These checks can be done for free using the registration number.
