2018 Hyundai I10 1.0L Petrol · AF18 EPJ

The Hyundai i10 presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 4 March 2026 at 56,362 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, following a failed attempt on the same date with no defects listed, which points to an administrative rejection rather than a mechanical fault. Prior annual tests in March 2025, March 2024, and March 2023 all passed cleanly at 49,265, 40,892, and 35,034 miles respectively. The vehicle shows no worsening pattern of advisories or failures across its eight-year history. Annual mileage averages around 7,045 miles, consistent with typical light private use for a 2018 registration. The records show steady yearly accumulation: 5,858 miles between March 2023 and March 2024, then 8,373 to March 2025, and 7,097 to the March 2026 test. No standing gaps or sudden high-use spikes appear in the data. The clean test sheet across five consecutive years suggests the previous owner kept basic consumables and emissions within limits, though absence of advisories means wear items were likely renewed before each test rather than monitored. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the car's age and the lack of recorded advisories that might otherwise flag emerging wear. The March 2026 duplicate test with a no-defect failure warrants confirmation that the V5C and DVSA portal show a valid current certificate. With no structural corrosion, exhaust, or binding caliper issues ever logged, serious mechanical risk looks low, but independent verification of tyre condition and underbody integrity remains sensible on any eight-year-old city car.
