2020 Hyundai I10 1.0L Petrol · KS69 YOL

The Hyundai i10 has maintained a consistent MOT history with no major defects since its most recent test on 2026-02-05 at 12,549 miles, indicating stable roadworthiness. The vehicle has passed every test without advisories or failures, though the 2024-02-06 inspection recorded a minor issue with the offside wiper blade—an expected consumable wear item that was likely replaced since. The absence of recurring structural or mechanical faults suggests the vehicle has been subject to basic maintenance, though the low mileage means some components may not yet require attention beyond routine checks. The recorded mileage of 12,549 miles over six years—approximately 2,092 miles annually—is unusually low for a vehicle of this age, implying either light usage or prolonged periods of storage. The consistent mileage increments between tests (around 2,000 miles per year) suggest no rapid degradation, but the gap between the 2023 and 2024 tests (1,685 miles) is slightly longer than the others, which could indicate a temporary pause in use. Such low mileage means wear items like brake pads, suspension bushes, and timing belts may still have significant service life remaining, but their condition should be verified independently. Given the clean MOT record, the primary focus for an in-person inspection should be the suspension components—particularly the coil springs, bushes, and shock absorbers—for signs of premature wear or corrosion, which can develop even at low mileages due to environmental exposure. The brakes, despite no recorded failures, should be checked for uneven pad thickness, binding calipers, or excessive rotor wear, as low-mileage vehicles often experience inconsistent brake use. Examine the underbody for corrosion around wheel arches, sills, and the exhaust system, as rust can develop silently even with minimal movement. Finally, verify the condition of the wiper blades and windscreen washer system, as the 2024 wiper fault indicates these are consumable items that may require replacement. The engine bay should be inspected for fluid leaks, particularly around the oil filter housing and power steering reservoir, as these are common failure points in low-mileage vehicles.
