2010 Hyundai I10 1.2L Petrol · CV10 MTU

The 2010 Hyundai I10 presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on its most recent MOT on 2025-12-09 at 55,100 miles, which recorded a pass with no defects. However, the vehicle’s MOT history shows repeated failures on identical dates (e.g., 2025-12-09 and 2024-11-22) with no recorded issues, suggesting potential administrative inconsistencies or unaddressed technical faults. The absence of defects in the latest test implies no immediate safety risks, but the pattern of repeated failures without resolution raises concerns about underlying mechanical or regulatory compliance issues. The vehicle’s mileage of 55,100 miles over 16 years equates to an average of 3,444 miles annually, significantly lower than typical usage. This suggests infrequent use or prolonged periods of inactivity, which can accelerate corrosion, fluid degradation, and component stiffness. Notably, the 2023-11-29 MOT at 50,033 miles recorded a pass with no defects, followed by a 2,400-mile increase to 52,410 miles by 2024-11-21, then a 2,690-mile jump to 55,100 miles by 2025-12-09. Such irregular mileage progression may indicate inconsistent maintenance or storage conditions, warranting closer scrutiny of systems prone to disuse-related wear. A buyer should prioritise inspecting the suspension for aged bushes or coil springs, as low mileage can mask hidden fatigue. Brake components, including calipers and discs, should be checked for corrosion or binding, particularly if the vehicle was stored. Structural integrity, including underbody rust, is critical given the model’s age, while the lack of recorded defects in recent tests does not preclude latent issues from prior failures. The absence of detailed fault reports in the MOT history limits definitive conclusions, but the vehicle’s maintenance pattern underscores the need for a thorough pre-purchase inspection.
