2011 Hyundai I10 1.2L Petrol · EO11 AFN

The vehicle demonstrates stable roadworthiness with no defects recorded in its last three MOT tests, including the most recent 2025-11-19 inspection at 56,989 miles. However, a failed test on 2023-11-22 at the same mileage raises questions, though no defects were listed. This inconsistency suggests potential administrative error or an unrecorded issue, warranting closer scrutiny. The absence of recurring mechanical faults in subsequent tests implies the car has been maintained to a satisfactory standard, but the failed test remains an unexplained anomaly. The mileage of 56,989 miles over 15 years equates to approximately 3,800 miles annually, significantly below the UK average for this age. This low usage could indicate infrequent driving or prolonged periods of inactivity, which may lead to component degradation such as seized suspension bushes or corrosion. The MOT records show consistent annual testing with minimal mileage increases between 2022 and 2023 (45,864 to 46,428 miles), suggesting the vehicle was driven sparingly during that period. The lack of consumable wear notes (e.g., tyres, wipers) in the history implies the previous owner prioritized basic maintenance, though this does not confirm comprehensive servicing. A pre-purchase inspection should focus on potential rust, particularly in the underbody and chassis, given the low mileage and age. Suspension components, including coil springs and bushings, may require checking for stiffness or corrosion due to inactivity. The failed 2023 test, though unexplained, necessitates verification of its validity and any unresolved issues. Brake systems and exhaust emissions should also be assessed, as these are common areas for deterioration in older vehicles with limited use. The MOT history does not flag structural concerns, but the vehicle’s low mileage and sporadic testing pattern justify a thorough mechanical evaluation before purchase.
