2010 HYUNDAI I301.4L Petrol

This vehicle presents an exceptionally stable roadworthiness profile. The most recent MOT on 13 January 2025 at 90,095 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a consistent trend of five consecutive years of clean passes, indicating a vehicle that has been maintained to a high standard or has experienced very little mechanical stress. The mileage is low for a 2010 model, averaging roughly 5,631 miles per year. The usage pattern shows a significant drop in annual distance over the last few years. Between 5 January 2021 and 6 January 2022, the car covered 8,921 miles. In contrast, the distance between 15 January 2024 and 13 January 2025 was only 1,495 miles. This suggests the vehicle is now used sparingly or has spent extended periods stationary. While the MOT history is pristine, the low usage pattern introduces specific risks. A buyer should check for signs of stagnation, such as perished tyre sidewalls or battery degradation. Because the tester flagged no issues with brake discs or calipers, there is no recorded history of seizing, but the lack of frequent use can lead to surface corrosion on brake rotors. Inspect the underbody for structural corrosion, as the MOT record does not provide a detailed view of the chassis integrity beyond the pass result. Check the condition of the rubber suspension bushes and coil springs for cracking, which often occurs due to age rather than mileage. Given the low annual mileage in recent years, verifying the fluid levels and oil condition is essential to ensure the engine has not suffered from infrequent cycling.
