2010 Toyota Iq MOT pass rate: 80.8% (11,065 tests)
Is the 2010 Iq getting worse?
Pass rate of 2010-registered cars across recent test years:
| Test year | Pass rate | |
|---|---|---|
| 2023 | 81.9% +13.8 vs same-age |
|
| 2024 | 80.5% +13.5 vs same-age |
|
| 2025 | 80.1% +13.2 vs same-age |
The raw rate normally falls as cars age. The “vs same-age” figure compares this cohort with all UK cars registered in the same year, so normal ageing is not mistaken for a bad model year.

FAQs
Is a 2010 Toyota Iq reliable?

What mileage is too high for a 2010 Iq?
The median tested example shows 70,480 miles. Anything far beyond that isn't automatically bad — a motorway-mile car with consistent service records often beats a low-mileage school-run car — but price accordingly and scrutinise the mileage trail for gaps or drops.
