2010 HYUNDAI I101.2L Petrol

The 2010 Hyundai I10 demonstrates stable roadworthiness, with no defects recorded in its last five MOT tests, including the most recent 2025-09-10 assessment at 95,341 miles. All prior tests from 2021 to 2024 also showed clean results, indicating consistent maintenance and no emerging mechanical issues. The absence of advisories or failures suggests the vehicle has been well-kept, with no significant wear or corrosion flagged. This pattern implies the previous owner prioritized regular servicing, though the low mileage raises questions about long-term component health. The vehicle’s mileage of 95,341 miles over 16 years equates to approximately 5,959 miles annually, significantly below the UK average for its age. This suggests either infrequent use or prolonged periods of inactivity, which can accelerate degradation in rubber seals, fluids, and electrical systems. The MOT intervals align with standard annual testing, but the lack of data between 2021 and 2025—no tests recorded for 2022, 2023, or 2024—raises concerns about potential gaps in maintenance. The 2022-09-02 test at 89,613 miles was the last before a two-year hiatus, followed by consecutive passes in 2023 and 2024, which may indicate irregular servicing. A buyer should inspect the suspension for worn bushes or coil springs, as low mileage can mask gradual wear. Brake discs and calipers should be checked for corrosion or uneven wear, particularly if the vehicle has been stationary for extended periods. The exhaust system requires scrutiny for rust, common in older models, and the body’s structural integrity should be assessed for hidden corrosion, especially in wheel arches and sills. While the MOT history is clean, the low mileage and sparse test data necessitate a thorough pre-purchase inspection to confirm the vehicle’s mechanical and structural condition.
