2015 Hyundai I10 1.0L Petrol · CK65 YRA

The vehicle passed its most recent MOT inspection on 27 October 2025 with no defects recorded. Evaluating the overall maintenance trend, the vehicle appears to be in a stable condition. A single advisory was noted in October 2022 regarding thinning front brake pads, but the subsequent clean MOT results in 2023, 2024, and 2025 indicate that this issue was rectified and that the vehicle has maintained a consistent standard of roadworthiness without recurring mechanical failures or structural issues. The recorded mileage of 48,305 miles over an eleven-year period represents an average annual usage of approximately 4,391 miles. This is considerably lower than typical UK driving patterns, suggesting the car has been used sparingly or has spent significant time stationary. While this low mileage reduces the wear on the engine, gearbox, and suspension bushes, it shifts the inspection focus from mileage-based wear to age-related degradation and the potential effects of infrequent use. A prospective buyer should pay close attention to age-related components during a physical inspection. Check the tyres for signs of perishing or sidewall cracking, as rubber can degrade and lose structural integrity over a decade even if the tread depth remains high. During the test drive, listen for any clunks from the suspension or unevenness in the steering, and check for brake shudder or binding, which can result from brake disc corrosion or sticking calipers caused by the vehicle standing for long periods. Furthermore, it is essential to verify the service history to ensure that maintenance has been conducted on a time-basis rather than solely on mileage. Low-usage vehicles require regular oil and fluid changes to prevent the degradation of engine oil, coolant, and brake fluid. Check the 12V battery condition, as infrequent driving can lead to a loss of charge retention. Finally, confirm that the service book reflects regular intervals to ensure that the vehicle has not suffered from the chemical breakdown of essential lubricants due to its low annual distance travelled.
