HYUNDAI I102018 · 1.0L Petrol

The 2018 Hyundai i10 holds a fully roadworthy status following its most recent DVSA test on 17 February 2026 at 40,657 miles, where the examiner recorded no defects or advisories. The maintenance trend across the available history is stable, with five consecutive annual passes from February 2022 to February 2026 showing zero flagged mechanical or structural concerns. This consistent clean sheet indicates the previous keeper addressed any required upkeep before each test date. Mileage accumulation reflects light use for an eight-year-old car. The odometer advanced from 26,873 miles at the 21 February 2022 test to 40,657 miles by February 2026, an average of roughly 5,082 miles per year. Annual increments stayed narrow: 3,398 miles between 2022 and 2023, then 3,081, 3,501, and 3,804 miles in subsequent tests. No abrupt gaps or rapid accumulation appear; the record remains sparse but wholly clean, suggesting the vehicle spent extended periods stationary between short journeys. Despite the absence of recorded faults, a buyer should commission an in-person inspection of age-sensitive components. Low mileage combined with likely standing invites corrosion on brake discs and exhaust emissions hardware, while calipers may bind if rarely exercised. The tester noted no structural integrity issues, yet sill and subframe surfaces warrant a visual check for rust given the 2018 build. A buyer should assess suspension bushes and coil springs for perishing rather than wear, and examine tyres for sidewall cracking despite adequate tread. The clean MOT portfolio implies conscientious ownership, but physical verification remains prudent before purchase.
