2011 Hyundai I10 1.2L Petrol · DA61 CZP

The Hyundai i10 presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 19 January 2026 at 41,249 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the prior pass on 25 November 2024 at 36,985 miles also showed a clean sheet. A failed entry on the same 25 November 2024 date at identical mileage carries no recorded defects, indicating an administrative rejection rather than a mechanical fault. The vehicle has cleared every valid test since 23 November 2023 without advisories. Recorded mileage sits at 41,249 against a 2011 build, averaging roughly 2,750 miles per year. The car covered only 1,102 miles between the November 2023 test at 35,883 miles and the November 2024 test at 36,985 miles, then 4,264 miles to the January 2026 pass. Such low annual use over fifteen years suggests extended standing periods. The DVSA history is sparse and clean, offering no flagged corrosion, suspension bushes, brake discs, or exhaust emissions concerns across the five entries. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity and underbody corrosion given the age and likely static storage. Long idle spells accelerate perished rubber components and flat-spotted tyres despite the clean MOT trail. The absence of advisories means no binding calipers or worn coil springs were noted, yet the record cannot confirm current condition of consumables fitted since January 2026. Given the uneventful test sequence, previous owners appear to have maintained basic statutory compliance. The phantom failure in November 2024 points to a paperwork or presentation issue at the test centre, not deferred maintenance. Verify service history independently before purchase, as MOT passes alone do not evidence routine fluid or timing-chain care on a low-mileage elderly hatchback.
