2013 Hyundai I10 1.2L Petrol · AV13 FRL

The 2013 Hyundai I10 presents a stable and improving maintenance trend, culminating in a clean pass on 13 May 2026 at 93,212 miles with zero defects recorded. This is the most recent MOT, dated just over one month prior to today, and it marks three consecutive flawless annual tests following a failure and immediate retest in October 2023. The trajectory from advisory and failure items to a completely clean record suggests the previous owner addressed outstanding defects promptly and has maintained the vehicle consistently since. The mileage accumulation is broadly typical for a 13-year-old city car, averaging roughly 7,170 miles per year. The record shows a steady progression from 81,993 miles in October 2023 to 83,154 miles by May 2024, then 87,302 miles by May 2025, and finally 93,212 miles by May 2026, indicating annual increments of approximately 4,000 to 5,900 miles. No anomalous gaps or sudden jumps appear in the data, and the testing pattern aligns with regular annual cycles, supporting the impression of consistent, routine use rather than prolonged standing or excessive mileage. The October 2023 failure and same-day retest reveal the only notable mechanical concern in the vehicle's history. The tester flagged an offside front service brake fluctuating during the initial test, which persisted as an advisory on the pass certificate, suggesting a minor caliper or disc irregularity that did not worsen sufficiently to cause failure. Both rear tyres required replacement due to cuts deep enough to expose ply or cords, indicating the car likely encountered road debris or kerbing damage rather than a systemic fault. A buyer should inspect the front brake discs for uneven wear or lipping and check caliper slide pins for smooth operation, as well as examining all tyre sidewalls for fresh damage given the car's urban use profile. Beyond the flagged items, the advisories on the 2023 pass concerning tyre perishing and cracking, along with a deteriorated front registration plate, point to typical age-related deterioration on a small hatchback. A prospective buyer should examine the underside for corrosion, particularly around suspension mounting points and brake lines, given the vehicle's age. The nearside front tyre wear pattern noted in 2023 also warrants a check of front suspension bushes and tracking, as uneven wear on a non-driven front wheel often hints at alignment drift. Overall, the record reflects a well-maintained, low-mileage example with no recurring structural or mechanical defects.
