2015 Hyundai I10 1.2L Petrol · AW15 HFT

This Hyundai i10 has maintained a consistently clean MOT history over the past five years, with no defects or advisories recorded in any of the five consecutive tests. The most recent inspection, conducted on 9 December 2025 at 26,658 miles, confirms the vehicle remains roadworthy under current DVSA standards. There is no evidence of recurring mechanical failures, structural corrosion, or binding components—all critical areas that often escalate into costly repairs if left unaddressed. The absence of advisories suggests previous owners either adhered to manufacturer service intervals or addressed issues privately without DVSA intervention. The recorded mileage of 26,658 miles over approximately 11 years—roughly 2,423 miles annually—indicates unusually light usage for a vehicle of this age. The incremental mileage jumps between tests (e.g., 3,441 miles between November 2024 and December 2025) suggest the car has spent extended periods stationary, which could imply storage rather than active daily driving. This pattern may mitigate some wear on high-mileage components like suspension bushes or brake pads, but it also raises questions about fluid degradation (e.g., brake fluid, coolant, or transmission fluid) if the vehicle was left unused for prolonged periods without maintenance. Given the clean MOT record, a buyer should prioritise an in-person inspection of suspension components , particularly the coil springs and bushes, for signs of fatigue or dry rot—common in low-mileage cars that may have been exposed to moisture or road salt. The brakes, while never failing an MOT, should be checked for uneven wear or binding calipers, as even minor issues can escalate if not addressed. Corrosion is another critical area; inspect the wheel arches, sills, and underbody for rust penetration, especially around weld seams or where the body meets the chassis. Finally, verify the condition of the exhaust system for leaks or broken hangers, as these are often overlooked in low-mileage vehicles but can lead to catalytic converter damage if emissions are not properly contained. The lack of MOT advisories does not preclude these areas from requiring attention.
