2013 Toyota Iq MOT pass rate: 85.7% (3,840 tests)
Is the 2013 Iq getting worse?
Pass rate of 2013-registered cars across recent test years:
| Test year | Pass rate | |
|---|---|---|
| 2023 | 87.5% +12.8 vs same-age |
|
| 2024 | 85.8% +12.7 vs same-age |
|
| 2025 | 83.9% +11.7 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.

What mileage is too high for a 2013 Iq?
