I want to buy a Toyota IQ - what sort of mileage is reasonable?
For my next car I fancy buying something cheap to run with a low or zero tax disc price. I'm thinking about a used Toyota IQ. With such a small engine, would there be a mileage limit above which I shouldn't buy? Or is the mileage less important than how the miles have been achieved?

It has the same chain cam engine as the Citroen C3, Peugeot 107, Toyota Aygo. It's reasonably robust, but see the car-by-car breakdown entries at HJUK for those cars for what goes wrong.
