2015 HYUNDAI I10 SE BLUE DRIVE1.0L Other

This Hyundai i10 has maintained a clean MOT history with no defects recorded across all four tests, most recently passing on 2025-08-13 at 35,688 miles. The consistent pass status suggests no major recurring issues have been overlooked, though the absence of advisories or minor faults means the tester did not identify any wear items requiring attention. The most recent test was conducted just over eleven months ago, which is within the standard MOT validity period, though slightly outside the ideal window for a vehicle of this age and mileage. The lack of any advisory notes also implies the tester did not flag items like worn suspension bushes or binding calipers that often appear on vehicles approaching 100,000 miles. The recorded mileage of 35,688 miles over approximately eleven years—roughly 3,244 miles per year—indicates unusually light usage for a vehicle of this age. The gaps between tests are regular, with no abrupt jumps in mileage, suggesting the car has likely been stored or used sparingly during certain periods. For example, the 2022 test at 25,315 miles shows a 4,727-mile gap before the 2023 test, which could imply extended off-road or infrequent driving. While low mileage generally reduces wear on critical components, it can also mean fluids and consumables have not been refreshed as frequently as they should, particularly if the vehicle has been stationary for prolonged periods. Given the clean MOT record, a buyer should prioritise an inspection of fluid levels, particularly brake fluid, power steering fluid, and coolant, as these degrade over time even with low mileage. The suspension should be checked for dry or cracked rubber in bushes and mounts, especially if the car has spent periods stationary, as this can accelerate deterioration. Tyres, despite no MOT faults, should be examined for uneven wear or excessive tread depth, as the lack of recent use may have masked subtle alignment or balance issues. Finally, the underbody and wheel arches should be scrutinised for corrosion, particularly around the sills and wheel bearings, as rust can develop rapidly in parked vehicles regardless of mileage. The engine bay should also be inspected for oil leaks or degraded hoses, as these are common in vehicles with irregular maintenance.
