2022 Hyundai I10 N Line T-GDI 1.0L Petrol · EX72 HZR

The Hyundai I10 recorded here has maintained a clean MOT history with no defects or advisories in the most recent test, conducted just ten months ago on 15 September 2025 at 18,191 miles. This suggests the vehicle has passed all mandatory checks for brakes, suspension, steering, exhaust emissions, and structural integrity without fail. The absence of any advisories or repeat failures indicates the previous owner—or owners—have likely addressed minor wear items promptly, though the sparse record means no long-term trends can be confirmed. The latest pass implies compliance with current UK roadworthiness standards, but a thorough in-person inspection remains essential to verify the condition of components not routinely tested under MOT. The recorded mileage of 18,191 miles over four years—approximately 4,548 miles annually—is unusually low for a vehicle of this age, especially given typical urban usage patterns. Such low mileage could indicate the car has spent extended periods off the road or was used primarily for short trips, which may mitigate some wear on high-mileage components like suspension bushes or transmission fluid degradation. However, it also raises questions about the vehicle’s storage conditions, as prolonged inactivity can accelerate corrosion or degrade rubber seals. The lack of intermediate mileage readings means there’s no evidence of rapid wear or maintenance lapses, but the overall pattern suggests the car has not been subjected to heavy or consistent use. Given the limited MOT history, a buyer should prioritise inspecting suspension components—particularly the rear coil springs and bushes—for signs of uneven wear or corrosion, as these are not always flagged in standard MOT tests. The brakes, while passing the latest test, should be checked for uneven pad thickness or binding calipers, which could indicate past neglect. Tyre condition is another critical area; the absence of tread-related advisories in the MOT does not rule out uneven wear or internal damage. Finally, the underbody and wheel arches should be examined for corrosion, particularly around the sills and wheel bearings, as low mileage does not guarantee rust-free storage. A pre-purchase inspection by a qualified mechanic is strongly advised to assess components not covered by the MOT.
