The TOYOTA IQ (2009-15) is a compact city car: a three-door hatchback designed for tight streets and small parking spaces. Its clever cabin packaging provides four seats in a footprint smaller than most rivals, making it a distinctive alternative to the Toyota Aygo, Fiat 500 and two-seat Smart Fortwo. Mycarcheck.com users have looked up 9,331 examples, with 3,319 different VINs, giving this model a substantial presence in the site's checks. The vehicles average around 72,000 miles and 5,000 miles a year; the average recorded private-sale valuation is £2,500. These figures offer context, though condition and history matter. The IQ suits commuters, town drivers and first-time buyers who value easy manoeuvring over boot space or family practicality. Best for one or two people, its rear seats can help. Economical and easy to park, it feels substantial for its size. Check service records and condition when viewing a used TOYOTA IQ.
