Mechanical Assessment

AI-generated interpretation of this vehicle’s MOT record — not an official statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

This 2018 Hyundai i10 presents a remarkably clean MOT record, with five consecutive passes and not a single defect or advisory recorded across its entire history. The most recent test in May 2025 at 19,682 miles confirms the vehicle remains in a stable and well-maintained condition with no emerging mechanical concerns flagged by the tester. This is an unusually unblemished record for an eight-year-old car and strongly suggests consistent, conscientious upkeep. The recorded mileage of 19,682 miles equates to roughly 2,460 miles per year, which is genuinely low for the vehicle's age. The annual increments are steady and logical: 10,304 miles in May 2021, rising to 12,746 in April 2022, then 16,199 in May 2023, 18,294 in April 2024, and finally 19,682 in May 2025. There are no suspicious gaps or sudden jumps in mileage that would indicate periods of heavy use or tampering. The pattern reflects light, regular use, likely short urban journeys or occasional trips. Given the absence of any recorded faults, a pre-purchase inspection should focus on items that naturally degrade with time rather than mileage. The low annual mileage means the car may have spent extended periods standing, so check for perished rubber components such as suspension bushes, anti-roll bar links, and engine mounts. Brake discs can corrode from infrequent use, and the handbrake mechanism may seize if left unused for long stretches. Tyres, though likely replaced at some point, should be checked for age-related cracking rather than tread depth alone. The Hyundai i10 is a structurally robust model, but a visual check for any corrosion on subframes or suspension mounting points is still prudent. Overall, this car's MOT history is about as clean as it gets.

Our Verdict

This 2018 Hyundai i10 is a strong candid

When inspecting this vehicle, pay close attention to the tyres, as the most recent MOT highlighted that both rear tyres were worn close to the legal limit. Ensure the tread depth meets the legal minimum of 1.6mm across the central three-quarters of the tyre.

Beyond the tyres, verify that the vehicle comes with a comprehensive service history to complement the MOT data. As this is a 998cc petrol model, confirm that the engine idles smoothly and that there are no unusual noises from the suspension, which is a known area of focus for the i10 model range.

The 998cc petrol engine in the i10 is designed for fuel efficiency, particularly in urban environments. Road tax for this vehicle is generally affordable, though you should verify the specific VED band based on its CO2 emissions. Insurance groupings for the i10 are typically low, making it an attractive option for younger or budget-conscious drivers.

Maintenance costs are generally predictable given the model's widespread use. Aside from routine servicing, budget for periodic tyre replacements and brake components as part of standard vehicle upkeep. You can expect annual running costs, including fuel, tax, and insurance, to fall in the region of £1,100-£1,300 depending on your annual mileage and insurance profile.

Focus your inspection on the condition of the tyres, as the May 2026 MOT specifically cited wear on both rear tyres. Check the sidewalls for any cuts or bulges and ensure all four tyres have a matching, high-quality brand if possible.

While the MOT history is clean, it is worth checking the headlamps for any clouding or damage, as these are a common failure point for the i10 model aggregate. Additionally, perform a test drive to listen for any knocking sounds from the suspension, as suspension arm issues are another frequent item recorded in the wider data for this model.

This white 2018 Hyundai i10 has covered 22,280 miles since its first registration in May 2018. The vehicle has achieved five consecutive MOT passes, with no defects recorded in four of those tests. The most recent inspection in May 2026 noted tyre wear, which is a common maintenance item for this model.

The Hyundai i10 generally performs well in MOT testing, with a model aggregate pass rate of 81.0%, suggesting it is a reliable choice for city driving.
