2016 Hyundai I10 1.0L Petrol · DL16 AEW

The vehicle presents a clean MOT history with a stable maintenance trend, the most recent test on 11 March 2026 at 38,088 miles returning a pass with no defects recorded, a certificate current within four months of today's date. Each annual examination from 2 March 2022 through 11 March 2026 yielded a pass with zero advisories, indicating consistent regulatory compliance and no worsening mechanical condition. The i10 shows remarkably low annual use for a ten-year-old car. It covered 16,310 miles by 2 March 2022, then 21,292 by 9 March 2023, 26,495 by 22 February 2024, 32,214 by 27 February 2025, and 38,088 by 11 March 2026. That equates to roughly 5,000 miles per year between tests, well below typical averages. No gaps appear in the testing schedule; the keeper presented the car each late winter or early spring without lapse. Such low accumulation suggests gentle urban commuting or prolonged stationary periods rather than high-speed motorway wear. Because the DVSA records flag no recurring faults, suspension bushes, coil springs, brake calipers, discs, exhaust emissions, and structural integrity all passed without comment. The absence of advisories implies previous keepers addressed consumables before each test. A buyer should still physically inspect for latent corrosion on sills and subframes, check tyre sidewall cracking from age, and verify brake disc condition after standing. Low mileage cars often hide degraded rubber components and flat-spotted tyres despite clean certificates. In person, prioritise a road test to detect any binding calipers or worn suspension bushes that static inspection might miss. Confirm service history aligns with the low mileages. The record shows no evidence of neglected upkeep; failing none on tread or emissions reflects disciplined ownership. This i10 stands as a low-risk purchase from a mechanical compliance standpoint, though age-related perishables warrant hands-on verification.
