2017 Hyundai I10 1.2L Petrol · CK17 XNB

This Hyundai i10 has maintained a consistent MOT pass record with no defects recorded across all five tests since 2021, most recently passing on 8 January 2026 at 40,862 miles. The absence of advisories or failures across these intervals suggests the vehicle has undergone regular, if not exemplary, servicing and has not exhibited any recurring mechanical issues. The most recent test, just six months ago, confirms the vehicle remains compliant with current UK roadworthiness standards, though a thorough in-person inspection remains essential to verify hidden wear or deterioration. The recorded mileage pattern of approximately 4,540 miles per year is unusually low for a nine-year-old vehicle, indicating either minimal usage or prolonged periods of inactivity. Between the November 2021 test at 27,838 miles and the November 2022 test at 32,490 miles, the vehicle accumulated just 4,652 miles—a span of roughly 12 months—before covering another 5,000 miles by November 2023. This irregularity could imply extended storage, which may have contributed to minor wear on components like suspension bushes or fluid degradation. The final 1,360 miles logged since the January 2026 test further suggests the vehicle has been stationary for several months, raising questions about maintenance consistency during periods of disuse. Given the lack of MOT-reported faults, priority should be given to inspecting high-wear items not routinely tested, such as suspension bushes and coil springs for cracking or excessive play, particularly at the rear where binding calipers or uneven brake disc wear might develop over low-mileage periods. The brake system, while passing tests, should be checked for corrosion on caliper slides or uneven pad thickness, as prolonged inactivity can accelerate rust formation. Tyres, though not flagged, warrant scrutiny for uneven wear or embedded stones, while the exhaust system should be examined for leaks or corrosion, especially if the vehicle has spent time in damp conditions. The battery and fluid levels (brake, coolant, power steering) should also be verified, as low mileage can obscure gradual fluid degradation. Structural integrity, including wheel arches and sills, should be inspected for corrosion, as rust progression is not always evident in MOT records.
