2013 Hyundai I10 1.2L Petrol · DA13 BVX

The Hyundai i10 presents as roadworthy following its most recent MOT pass on 17 July 2025 at 33,052 miles, with the maintenance trend appearing stable across the recorded history. The tester raised no defects at that test. Prior to this, the vehicle failed on 16 July 2025 and again on 25 June 2024, yet both failures were logged with no defects recorded, indicating administrative or presentation issues at the testing station rather than mechanical faults. The clean pass on 17 July 2023 at 29,950 miles supports a broadly sound condition over the observed period. The odometer shows 33,052 miles against a 2013 build date, equating to roughly 2,542 miles per year. This is low for a thirteen-year-old car. Annual increments stayed modest: 1,336 miles between July 2023 and June 2024, then 1,766 miles to July 2025. Such limited use suggests extended standing periods, which can allow corrosion or perished rubber components to develop unseen despite low drivetrain wear. The record itself is sparse, with no advisories or consumable wear flagged at any stage. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the low-use profile and likely idle intervals. Standing vehicles often hide binding calipers or flat-spotted tyres that a short MOT road test may not expose. The repeated no-defect failures warrant confirmation that the V5C and test certificates match the DVSA log, so the buyer avoids administrative ambiguity at point of sale. No structural integrity concerns, exhaust emission breaches, or recurring mechanical faults appear in the official data. The i10's history implies careful, infrequent use with basic upkeep met, though in-person checks on underbody corrosion and flexible brake hoses remain prudent before purchase.
