HYUNDAI I102018 · 1.2L Petrol

The 2018 Hyundai i10 demonstrates a stable, unblemished roadworthiness record. In the most recent MOT on 12 May 2025 at 25,010 miles, the tester passed the vehicle with no defects recorded. Annual examinations on 13 May 2024 at 22,620 miles, 30 May 2023 at 20,846 miles, 26 May 2022 at 20,054 miles, and 13 May 2021 at 18,778 miles each returned passes with zero advisories. This consistent sequence confirms the maintenance trend has remained steady, with no worsening faults or recurring mechanical concerns across the suspension, braking, or emissions systems. The mileage pattern reflects light use for an eight-year-old car. From the May 2021 test at 18,778 miles to the May 2025 test at 25,010 miles, the i10 accumulated only 6,232 miles, averaging roughly 1,558 miles per year. The greatest annual increment appeared between May 2024 and May 2025, when it covered 2,390 miles, still a modest figure. No gaps exist in the testing cycle. Such low totals imply the previous keeper relied on the car for short local trips, and the clean record suggests statutory upkeep was met without neglect. Despite the absence of recorded defects, a buyer should still arrange a hands-on inspection of age-related components that low mileage can conceal. The tester never flagged corrosion on structural panels, brake discs, or suspension bushes, yet prolonged standing invites surface rust on calipers and exhaust mounts. Check the tyres for sidewall cracking from age rather than tread wear, and confirm the coil springs are free from fracture. The unbroken pass history indicates the former owner cleared mandatory tests, but provides no insight into proactive mechanical care beyond DVSA requirements.
