HYUNDAI I102008 · 1.1L Petrol

The 2008 Hyundai i10 presents a stable roadworthiness profile, with the most recent test on 7 August 2025 at 65,623 miles returning a pass and no defects recorded. The maintenance trend across the five-year record is consistent and uneventful, showing no recurring advisories or mechanical faults. A single failure on 7 August 2024 at 63,612 miles listed no defects, suggesting an administrative or presentation issue at the testing station rather than a genuine fault, with the vehicle passing later that same day at 63,616 miles. Recorded mileage sits at 65,623 against an eighteen-year lifespan, averaging roughly 3,646 miles per year. The odometer advanced only 2,007 miles between the August 2022 test at 58,616 miles and the August 2024 pass at 63,616 miles, confirming light annual use. Low mileage of this order often signals extended standing periods, which can allow corrosion and perished rubber components to develop unseen despite clean test sheets. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and subframe mounting points given the vehicle's age and likely intermittent use. Brake discs and calipers warrant checks for seizing after prolonged inactivity, even though the MOT record shows no binding or imbalance. Exhaust emissions and structural integrity beneath sills and wheel arches should be examined for rust that a no-defect pass may not have escalated. The absence of advisories across every test implies previous owners kept basic consumables within limits, though the sparse history offers limited insight into deeper drivetrain condition. Given the low annual mileage, confirm cambelt interval compliance and fluid renewal rather than relying on the clean MOT trail alone.
