2010 Hyundai I10 1.2L Petrol · RF10 AAE

The Hyundai i10 presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, evidenced by the most recent test on 7 November 2025 at 104,259 miles returning a pass with no defects recorded. Across the five entries held since November 2022, the vehicle has shown no advisories or mechanical faults, indicating consistent basic compliance with statutory roadworthiness standards. Annual mileage sits close to the typical expectation for a 2010 vehicle. The record shows 58,895 miles in November 2022, rising to 67,367 by November 2023, then 87,424 in November 2024 and 104,259 by November 2025. That equates to roughly 8,500 to 17,000 miles per year in the later period, a mild uplift from the long-term average but not abnormal. The clean pass sheet at every annual interval, including the retest on 8 November 2023 following an administrative fail with no defects listed, suggests the previous keeper kept the car to a reasonable upkeep schedule. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection beneath the shell. Sixteen years of service invites corrosion on sills, subframes and suspension mounting points even where the tester logged nothing. Check the front suspension bushes, coil springs and brake discs for fatigue, and confirm the exhaust emissions remain within limits under cold start. Given the sparse and fault-free history, no recurring mechanical pattern demands correction. The absence of advisories across three years implies consumables such as tyres and wiper blades were renewed before each test rather than flagged. Verify this during viewing, as MOT cleanliness on an older city car often masks worn but legal components.
