2014 Hyundai I10 1.2L Petrol · WG14 AEM

The 2014 Hyundai i10 presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, evidenced by the most recent DVSA test on 23 September 2025 at 49,506 miles returning a clean pass with no defects recorded, roughly ten months before the current July 2026 review. Every annual examination from the 2 October 2021 test at 22,946 miles through to 2025 resulted in a pass with zero advisories. This unbroken sequence indicates the previous keeper sustained the vehicle to statutory standards without recurring mechanical or structural concerns. Mileage accumulation sits well below typical averages for a twelve-year-old car. The odometer advanced from 22,946 miles at the 2 October 2021 test to 27,635 miles on 28 September 2022, then 30,834 miles in the 22 September 2023 examination, 41,753 miles by 27 September 2024, and 49,506 miles by 23 September 2025. This equates to roughly 4,126 miles per annum across the record. The intervals between tests never exceeded thirteen months, showing disciplined upkeep. Such low yearly use suggests lighter urban commuting or prolonged stationary periods rather than sustained wear on drivetrain components. Buyers should still commission an independent inspection of age-sensitive components that a pass certificate does not future-proof. The clean MOT history provides no flagged corrosion on structural members, yet a 2014 chassis may harbour surface rust in sills or subframes unseen during a brief test. Technicians ought to scrutinise suspension bushes and coil springs for perishing caused by low-mileage inactivity, and measure brake disc thickness and caliper operation despite no binding reported in any test. The absence of any advisory on exhaust emissions across five tests implies the catalytic converter and lambda sensors performed within limits. Nevertheless, verify the condition of consumable items such as tyres and wiper blades at point of sale, as these fall outside the historical record's scope. Previous ownership clearly prioritised statutory testing, but low usage demands hands-on checks of drivetrain seals and coolant integrity before purchase.
