2018 Hyundai I10 1.0L Petrol · CA18 AVG

This Hyundai i10 has maintained a consistent MOT pass record over the past four tests, with no defects or advisories recorded in any of the official DVSA assessments. The most recent test on 2025-06-09, at 30,279 miles, confirms the vehicle remains roadworthy under current UK standards, with no evidence of recurring or unresolved mechanical failures. The absence of advisories suggests the tester did not identify any components requiring imminent attention, though this does not preclude hidden wear or deferred maintenance. The pattern of clean passes indicates either diligent servicing or a vehicle that has not yet exhibited significant wear, though the low mileage complicates traditional wear-and-tear expectations. The recorded mileage of 30,279 miles over eight years—approximately 3,785 miles annually—is unusually low for a vehicle of this age, suggesting either infrequent use or prolonged periods of inactivity. The mileage increments between tests are steady: 4,328 miles between the 2022 and 2023 tests, 5,028 miles between 2023 and 2024, and 4,768 miles between 2024 and 2025. While this pattern avoids rapid degradation, it also means critical components like suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake pads may have been underutilised, potentially masking wear that would normally appear at higher mileages. The lack of advisories does not rule out corrosion or minor structural issues, particularly in areas prone to moisture retention, such as wheel arches or underbody panels. Given the clean MOT history, a prospective buyer should prioritise a thorough inspection of suspension components, including the condition of bushes, dampers, and coil springs, as these are often overlooked in low-mileage vehicles but can degrade over time due to age rather than use. The brakes, while not flagged in tests, should be assessed for uneven wear or binding calipers, especially if the vehicle has spent extended periods stationary. Tyre tread depth, despite no recorded failures, warrants verification, as the absence of advisories could imply either consistent maintenance or the use of tyres well beyond their optimal lifespan. Finally, a visual inspection for corrosion—particularly around the sills, wheel arches, and exhaust system—is essential, as rust can compromise structural integrity without immediate impact on drivability. The lack of MOT advisories does not guarantee these areas are sound.
