2021 Hyundai I10 SE Connect MPI 1.2L Petrol · AA21 JAC

A spotless MOT record defines this 2021 Hyundai i10 SE Connect MPI, with both recorded tests passing without a single defect or advisory note. The most recent examination on 2 December 2025 returned a clean pass, mirroring the equally unblemished result from December 2024. For a small city car of this age, an entirely blank advisory history is a genuinely positive indicator: there is no emerging pattern of suspension wear, brake component deterioration, corrosion, or emissions concerns to track, and the trend across its testing life is stable and reassuring rather than deteriorating. The recorded mileage of 14,885 miles over roughly five years equates to approximately 2,977 miles per annum, which is well below the UK average and consistent with light urban or occasional use. The two tests fall neatly twelve months apart with no gaps, so there is no evidence of extended off-road periods or statutory lapses. Mechanically, this usage profile means the engine, clutch, gearbox, and drivetrain have experienced modest accumulated stress, and consumables such as brake discs and pads should show limited wear for the age. The one caveat with very low annual mileage is that short, infrequent journeys can leave exhaust condensation and surface corrosion on brake discs, though neither issue has been flagged by the examiners here. Given the clean history, the pre-purchase inspection should focus on verification rather than fault-finding. Confirm the odometer reading is consistent with the recorded figures and check that service invoices support the mileage, since the MOT record alone cannot evidence routine maintenance such as oil changes. On the test drive, listen for any light knocking from the front suspension over speed bumps or uneven surfaces, as low-mileage cars can still develop perished bushes through age rather than wear, and check that the brakes bite cleanly without judder or pulling to one side, which would suggest disc corrosion from standing. Overall this i10 presents as a low-risk purchase on the strength of its documentary record. Two consecutive clean passes, modest and consistent mileage, and no recurring advisories give a buyer little cause for mechanical concern. The sensible remaining checks are a cold start to assess engine smoothness and emissions behaviour, confirmation of tyre condition and even tread wear across all four corners, and a general inspection underneath for any superficial corrosion, after which the car can be approached with considerable confidence.
