2010 Hyundai I10 1.1L Petrol · ET59 EYZ

The vehicle remains roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT test on 14 May 2026 at 41,972 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, as the car has avoided major mechanical or structural failures over the last five years. While the vehicle consistently meets minimum standards, the recurring presence of tyre-related advisories suggests a pattern where consumable maintenance is deferred until necessary rather than addressed preventatively. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a 16-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 2,600 miles per year. The data shows consistent, incremental usage, with intervals of roughly 1,200 to 1,400 miles recorded between each annual test from 2022 to 2026. This low-intensity usage pattern typically means less wear on the drivetrain, engine, and suspension components, but it often correlates with the degradation of rubber-based parts due to age and lack of movement rather than physical distance. A buyer should prioritize a physical inspection of the front tyres, as the tester flagged cracking and perishing in May 2023, 2025, and 2026. These recurring faults indicate the rubber compound is drying out from age, which poses a risk regardless of remaining tread depth. Given the low mileage and long age, the inspection should also check for surface corrosion on brake discs and seized caliper sliders, as these are common failure points for vehicles that sit for extended periods. Checking the structural integrity for hidden rust in the arches and underbody is essential to ensure the low mileage has not masked underlying oxidation.
