2016 Hyundai I10 1.0L Petrol · BU16 EMX

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, evidenced by the most recent MOT pass on 16 July 2026 at 14,705 miles with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend is improving, as the car has transitioned from flagging minor issues to clean sheets in the last two tests. This suggests that previous mechanical concerns were addressed and the vehicle is currently operating in a good state of repair. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a decade-old vehicle, averaging approximately 1,470 miles per year. Data shows consistent, low-interval usage, such as the only 253 miles driven between July 2025 and July 2026. This indicates the car likely spends stationary stationary. While low mileage typically reduces mechanical wear on the drivetrain and engine, the long gaps between tests can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber components or brake corrosion, which are not always captured by mileage alone. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the offside front corner, as the history shows recurring issues with tyre wear on the edge in both 2021 and 2024. These faults suggest a persistent alignment problem or a worn suspension component that may not have been fully rectified. Although the 2019 test flagged play in the suspension arm ball joint, a manual check of the front wisharms and bushings is necessary to ensure no new play has developed. Given the low usage, the buyer must also inspect the brake discs for pitting or seizing, which often occurs when vehicles sit idle for long periods. The lack of structural corrosion advisories across the record is a positive indicator for a vehicle of this age. However, the low mileage means the tyres may be aged out rather than worn out, so checking the manufacture date for sidewall cracking is essential.
