HYUNDAI I102010 · 1.2L Petrol

The 2010 Hyundai i10 presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, confirmed by the most recent test on 07 July 2025 at 62,968 miles where the tester recorded no defects. The prior annual examinations on 26 June 2024 at 58,834 miles and 28 June 2023 at 54,949 miles also passed cleanly with no advisories. This consistent clean sheet across successive tests indicates the vehicle has not exhibited worsening mechanical or structural faults over the last three years. Recorded mileage sits at 62,968 against a 16-year lifespan, an average of roughly 3,936 miles per year. The DVSA data shows gentle accumulation: 51,337 miles in July 2022, 54,949 by June 2023, 58,834 by June 2024, and 62,968 by July 2025. Low annual use of this order often implies extended standing periods between runs. The history is sparse and clean, with only a single anomalous failure logged on 28 June 2023 at 54,949 miles carrying no recorded defects, immediately superseded by a pass the same day, suggesting an administrative rejection rather than a mechanical fault. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and subframe corrosion given the vehicle's age and likely idle intervals. Standing vehicles commonly develop perished rubber components and surface rust on structural members even when MOT tests show clear. Brake discs and calipers warrant physical checks for binding or pitting after low-use storage. The absence of advisories on tyres, exhaust emissions, or drivetrain across all tests implies previous owners addressed consumables before each examination. No recurring defects appear in the record. The i10's documented history supports a low-risk purchase provided a pre-sale mechanical appraisal confirms no latent age-related deterioration.
