2022 Hyundai I10 SE Connect MPI 1.2L Petrol · EK22 SSX

The latest MOT test on 15 May 2026 resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. While a failure was noted on 14 May 2026, the rapid turnaround to a clean pass suggests a minor component was replaced or adjusted to meet compliance. Based on the available records, the maintenance trend appears stable, as there are no recurring issues or long-term advisories appearing in the recent history, indicating the vehicle is currently meeting the required safety and environmental standards. The vehicle has covered 59,427 miles in approximately four years, which equates to an annual usage of nearly 15,000 miles. This is a high rate of accumulation for a small city car, suggesting the vehicle has been used extensively for commuting or long-distance travel. Mechanically, this higher-than-average mileage means that wear-and-tear components such as the braking system, tyres, and suspension assembly will have undergone more cycles of use than a typical low-mileage example. While this often results in better engine health due to regular operating temperatures, it necessitates a more thorough inspection of the chassis and drivetrain for signs of fatigue. Because the MOT record is currently free of advisories, your physical inspection must be more granular. Pay close attention to the tyres for signs of uneven wear patterns, which could signal misaligned geometry or worn suspension bushes. During the test drive, listen for any rhythmic thumping or clunking from the underside, which may indicate worn shock absorbers or degraded coil springs. Test the braking performance carefully; any shuddering through the pedal or steering wheel could indicate warped brake discs, while any pulling to one side might suggest a binding caliper. Additionally, verify the service history to ensure that oil and filter changes have been conducted strictly according to the manufacturer's schedule, as high mileage places greater demands on engine lubrication. Check the engine bay for any evidence of weeping gaskets or fluid leaks, and inspect the condition of the drive belts and hoses. Given the age, also check the 12V battery's health and ensure that time-sensitive fluids, such as brake fluid and coolant, have been replaced according to their recommended intervals rather than just mileage. Confirm that the service book is well-documented to provide confidence that the vehicle's high usage has been met with appropriate maintenance.
