2011 Hyundai I10 1.2L Petrol · KV61 ABZ

The 2011 Hyundai I10 demonstrates stable roadworthiness, with no defects recorded in its most recent June 2025 MOT at 75,172 miles. The vehicle has consistently passed annual tests since 2022, including a 2024 MOT at 73,075 miles and a 2023 test at 71,595 miles. A 2022 MOT on 68,957 miles shows conflicting entries—both a pass and a fail on the same date with no defects listed—suggesting a potential administrative error. Despite this, the absence of recorded faults in the last three years indicates reliable maintenance and no immediate mechanical risks. The vehicle’s mileage of 75,172 miles over 15 years equates to approximately 5,011 miles annually, significantly below the UK average for its age. This low usage may reflect infrequent operation or extended periods of inactivity, which could affect components like the battery, fluids, and rubber seals. The MOT intervals are regular, with no gaps exceeding 14 months, suggesting consistent attention to legal compliance. However, the sparse defect history offers limited insight into long-term wear patterns, particularly for high-mileage components such as brakes or suspension. A buyer should inspect the suspension system for aged bushes or coil springs, as prolonged low-mileage use can lead to stiffness or corrosion. The brake system, though unmarked in MOT records, warrants scrutiny for uneven pad wear or caliper binding, which may not trigger immediate failures. Structural integrity should also be verified, as older vehicles may develop rust in hidden areas. The absence of emissions or exhaust-related issues in the tests is positive, but a pre-purchase check on the catalytic converter and exhaust system is advisable to confirm ongoing compliance.
