2009 Hyundai I10 1.2L Petrol · EJ59 WFD

The 2009 Hyundai i10 presents a stable and clean roadworthiness profile. The most recent test on 10 January 2026 at 47,763 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken five-year sequence of passes with zero advisories. The maintenance trend shows no deterioration and no emerging mechanical concerns across the documented period. Recorded mileage sits at 47,763 against an age of roughly seventeen years, equating to about 2,810 miles per year. The DVSA entries show gentle, consistent accumulation: 43,704 miles in January 2022, rising to 45,297 by January 2023, 46,291 in January 2024, 47,196 in January 2025, and 47,763 in January 2026. Annual use never exceeded 1,100 miles. Such low, steady running implies light local use and probable extended standing periods, with no gaps or sudden mileage spikes in the record. A clean MOT sheet with no advisories does not exempt the buyer from physical inspection. Low mileage and long idle spells accelerate perishable degradation that testers may not flag until failure. We would examine suspension bushes, coil springs, and subframe mounts for age-related cracking or corrosion, and check brake discs and calipers for rust seizure after disuse. Tyres, wiper blades, and flexible brake hoses warrant close scrutiny for weathering from standing. The exhaust and emissions system showed no fault but should be inspected for internal rot. Given the spotless history, the i10 reads as genuinely well-kept, yet a pre-purchase check remains sound practice on a low-use seventeen-year-old car.
