2018 Hyundai I10 1.0L Petrol · EF18 FVD

The Hyundai i10 presents as roadworthy following its most recent test on 1 October 2025 at 41,823 miles, where the tester recorded no defects and issued a pass. The maintenance trend is stable, with no advisories or mechanical faults logged across any entry in the record. The vehicle cleared its test one week after a failure on 25 September 2025 at 41,821 miles that also carried no recorded defects, indicating the initial failure likely stemmed from administrative or documentation grounds rather than a physical fault. The odometer shows 41,823 miles against an eight-year lifespan, equating to roughly 5,228 miles per year and confirming light use for the age. Mileage moved from 30,580 at the 29 September 2023 test to 35,464 by 4 October 2024, then to 41,823 by October 2025, a steady annual gain near 5,000 to 6,000 miles with no abrupt accumulation. The DVSA data is sparse and clean, showing only pass and no-defect failure entries, which suggests the previous keeper maintained basic test compliance but the low standing time implied by such mileage warrants a check for deterioration through disuse. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given that static periods can accelerate corrosion and seizing unseen by the MOT lane. The repeated no-defect failures on 3 October 2024 and 25 September 2025 imply no structural or mechanical flags were raised, yet the absence of advisories offers no insight into tyre sidewall condition or exhaust emissions at component level. Verify the V5C and test certificate to confirm the basis of those two failures before purchase.
