2010 Hyundai I10 1.2L Petrol · FV10 AAZ

The Hyundai i10 presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 19 March 2026 at 39,663 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the two prior annual tests in March 2025 and March 2024 also closed as passes with no advisories. The vehicle shows no worsening mechanical pattern across the four-year record. The recorded mileage of 39,663 against a 2010 build date equates to roughly 2,479 miles per year, confirming very light use for a 16-year-old car. The gap between the 13 March 2024 pass at 34,389 miles and the 27 March 2025 pass at 36,169 miles reflects only 1,780 miles added in twelve months. Two failed tests appear on 26 March 2025 and 13 March 2024, both at near-identical mileages to the subsequent passes on the following day, yet the DVSA data lists no defects for either failure. This suggests administrative or presentation anomalies at the testing station rather than genuine mechanical faults. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity and corrosion given the vehicle's age and low annual use, which often masks damp-related rust on sills and suspension mounting points. The clean advisory history offers no flagged wear on brake discs, coil springs, or suspension bushes, but standing periods can seize calipers and flat-spot tyres without triggering MOT defects. Verify the two anomaly failures with the test centre's paperwork before purchase. The low mileage implies careful or seasonal ownership, though the unexplained fail-pass pairs on consecutive days warrant documentary confirmation rather than assumption of a clean bill of health.
