2017 Hyundai I10 1.2L Petrol · BF67 ELU

This Hyundai i10 has maintained a consistent and clean MOT history over the past five years, with no defects recorded in any of the five consecutive tests. The most recent inspection on 18 August 2025—just under a year ago—confirmed the vehicle passed without fail, reinforcing its compliance with current roadworthiness standards. The absence of advisories or recurring faults suggests the vehicle has been subjected to regular, if not meticulous, maintenance, though this does not preclude hidden wear or deferred issues not captured in the MOT process. The recorded mileage of 45,274 miles over nine years equates to an average of approximately 5,030 miles annually, a figure significantly lower than the UK average for a vehicle of this age. This pattern implies either minimal usage or prolonged periods of inactivity, which could mitigate some wear on high-mileage components like suspension bushes or brake pads. The steady progression of mileage—with no abrupt jumps or prolonged gaps—indicates consistent, albeit light, usage without evident neglect. However, low mileage does not guarantee longevity; it may also mean deferred servicing or the vehicle being stored rather than driven. Given the clean MOT record, a prospective buyer should prioritise a thorough inspection of suspension components, particularly the rear coil springs and bushes, which are prone to fatigue even at low mileage if the vehicle has been exposed to uneven surfaces or heavy loads. The brakes, while not flagged in MOTs, warrant scrutiny for uneven wear or binding calipers, especially if the vehicle has been parked for extended periods, as moisture can accelerate corrosion on disc surfaces. Structural integrity should also be assessed, particularly around wheel arches and sills, where corrosion can develop silently over time despite low mileage. Tyre condition, despite not appearing in MOTs, should be verified for uneven wear or excessive tread depth, as the absence of defects does not confirm they have been regularly replaced. Finally, the exhaust system and emissions should be checked for leaks or unusual noise, as these are often overlooked in low-mileage vehicles.
