2008 Hyundai I10 1.1L Petrol · DX08 XYG

The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT certificate until August 2026, indicating a stable maintenance trend following the rectification of previous mechanical issues. The most recent test on 4 August 2025 resulted in a pass after a minor failure regarding wiper efficiency, suggesting that the current owner addresses basic consumable requirements promptly. This clean record follows a period of more significant mechanical intervention, marking a positive shift in the vehicle's upkeep profile. With a recorded mileage of 55,470 over eighteen years, the vehicle averages approximately 3,082 miles annually. This low-mileage profile is consistent across the documented history, showing steady, light usage rather than long periods of inactivity. The consistency of the mileage accumulation between the 2023, 2024, and 2025 tests suggests the car has been in regular, albeit infrequent, service, which typically helps prevent the issues associated with long-term storage such as seized components or perished rubber seals. Prospective buyers should prioritise a physical inspection of the braking system, specifically the rear calipers and the front discs, given the failure recorded in August 2023. While the brakes passed subsequent inspections, the history of binding rear service brakes necessitates a check for uneven pad wear or seized sliders that might recur. You should also inspect the suspension bushes and the condition of the exhaust system, as these components often deteriorate on older, low-mileage vehicles through age-related corrosion rather than mechanical fatigue. Confirm that the windscreen wipers operate smoothly across the full arc of the glass to ensure the previous defect was resolved with quality components rather than a temporary fix.
