2017 HYUNDAI I101.0L Petrol

This Hyundai i10 has maintained a consistent MOT pass record with no defects recorded across five consecutive tests, the most recent of which occurred just ten months ago on 11 July 2025. The absence of advisories or failings in any of the tests suggests the vehicle has been subjected to regular, if not rigorous, maintenance checks, though this does not preclude underlying issues that may not have manifested during testing. The stable pass history indicates no obvious worsening trend in mechanical or structural integrity, though the lack of advisories does not guarantee the absence of deferred or hidden problems—particularly in areas like suspension bushes, coil springs, or subframe corrosion, which are common wear points on this model. The mileage progression reveals a steady accumulation of approximately 6,135 miles annually, which is typical for a vehicle of this age and class. There are no abrupt jumps or prolonged periods of inactivity that might suggest neglect or extended storage. The most significant gap between tests is between November 2023 and July 2024—a span of eight months—during which the vehicle accumulated nearly 5,000 miles. While this is within the legal MOT interval, it does imply the vehicle was in regular use, though the lack of advisories in either test suggests no urgent mechanical concerns arose during that period. Given the clean MOT history, a buyer should prioritise an independent inspection of the suspension components, particularly the rear suspension bushes and coil springs, as these are common failure points on this model and often go unnoticed until they degrade significantly. The brakes, including calipers, pads, and discs, should be checked for uneven wear or binding, especially if the vehicle has been driven hard or in stop-start conditions. Structural integrity, particularly around the wheel arches, sills, and subframe, should also be scrutinised for corrosion or damage, as these areas are prone to deterioration in UK conditions. The absence of advisories does not rule out minor wear items like wiper blades, brake fluid condition, or tyre tread depth, which should be verified in person.
