2010 Hyundai I10 1.2L Petrol · EN59 EUP

The Hyundai i10 presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, confirmed by the most recent DVSA test on 19 January 2026 at 20,635 miles which recorded no defects. The vehicle has passed every annual examination from January 2023 through January 2026 with no advisories or mechanical faults raised by testers. This clean sequence indicates the car has been kept to a standard that satisfies statutory roadworthiness requirements across four consecutive winters. The recorded mileage shows exceptionally light use for a 2010 registration. The odometer advanced from 17,279 miles at the January 2023 test to 20,635 miles by January 2026, a total of 3,356 miles over three years or roughly 1,120 miles per year. Such low accumulation relative to the 16-year age suggests prolonged standing periods or short local journeys, though the sparse history offers no evidence of skipped tests or abrupt mileage jumps between entries. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of corrosion-prone structural points and suspension bushes, as the MOT record captures only pass-state condition and cannot confirm absence of developing rust or worn components hidden behind clean test outcomes. The January 2023 duplicate entry showing a fail and pass on the same day at identical mileage implies an administrative re-test rather than a resolved defect, so no recurring mechanical fault pattern exists to flag. Given the low annual coverage, brake discs and calipers may have suffered from moisture-related binding or surface pitting during idle spells despite passing emissions and brake checks. Verify tyre sidewall condition and underbody integrity in person, since 16 years of age with limited movement accelerates perishing of rubber and trapped dampness more than high-mileage use would.
