2020 Hyundai I10 Premium MPI Auto 1.2L Petrol · GV20 AFO

This Hyundai i10 has maintained a clean MOT history with no defects recorded across three consecutive tests, most recently passing on 16 July 2025 at just 7,750 miles. The absence of advisories or failings suggests the vehicle has been subjected to consistent, if minimal, mechanical oversight. However, the 2026 test is now overdue by nearly a year, which—given the low mileage—raises questions about whether the car has remained stationary or has been driven sporadically. The most recent inspection confirms no critical failures, but the extended gap between tests (12 months since the last pass) means some wear items may not have been formally assessed since July 2025. The recorded mileage of 7,750 miles over six years equates to an average of around 1,292 miles annually, a figure significantly lower than typical usage patterns for this model. The incremental mileage increases—from 3,954 miles in July 2023 to 5,950 in July 2024, then to 7,750 in July 2025—suggest the vehicle has not been driven regularly. Such low mileage could indicate prolonged periods of storage, which may accelerate deterioration in components like suspension bushes, coil springs, and rubber seals due to lack of movement. The lack of advisories in prior tests does not preclude hidden issues, particularly in areas prone to static damage, such as wheel bearings or exhaust system joints. Given the low mileage and extended MOT gap, a buyer should prioritise an inspection of suspension integrity, focusing on worn or dried-out bushes and coil springs, as well as wheel bearings for excessive play or binding. The brakes, while not flagged in tests, may benefit from a thorough check for uneven wear or corrosion on calipers and discs, especially if the car has been stored in damp conditions. Tyre condition should also be scrutinised, as the absence of tread advisories in recent tests does not guarantee current compliance—low mileage can mask gradual tread degradation over time. Finally, examine the underbody for corrosion, particularly around wheel arches and the sills, as rust can develop even in lightly used vehicles if they have been exposed to moisture without movement.
