2009 Hyundai I10 1.2L Petrol · EO09 MLE

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile despite a highly unusual testing sequence. The most recent MOT test on 29 October 2025 at 128,050 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. This followed a failure just five days prior on 24 October 2025 at 128,047 miles. Since no defects were listed for that failure, the discrepancy likely indicates an administrative error or a minor presentation issue that was rectified immediately rather than a systemic mechanical failure. Excluding this anomaly, the car has maintained a clean record of passes over the last three years. The mileage pattern is remarkably consistent for a seventeen-year-old city car. With 128,050 miles recorded, the vehicle has averaged approximately 7,500 miles per annum, which aligns with typical UK usage patterns for this segment. Between the September 2022 test at 116,872 miles and the October 2023 test at 123,454 miles, the vehicle covered roughly 6,500 miles. The interval between the 2023 and 2024 tests saw another 3,300-mile increase. This steady accumulation suggests the car is not subjected to extreme mileage, which generally benefits the drivetrain and suspension components. Because the MOT history shows no recurring advisories or mechanical faults, a physical inspection should focus on age-related degradation rather than documented wear and tear. A buyer must inspect the structural integrity for corrosion on the sills and wheel arches, as these are common failure points for older Hyundais. Check the rubberised suspension bushes for cracking and verify that the brake discs are free of pitting or uneven wear despite the clean records. Given the consistent mileage, the vehicle appears to have been maintained to a standard that meets annual safety testing requirements without intervention.
