2014 Hyundai I10 1.0L Petrol · EY14 BYZ

The 2014 Hyundai i10 passed its most recent MOT on 14 July 2025 at just 24,282 miles, confirming it remains roadworthy under current DVSA standards. The test history shows an otherwise unblemished record, with no defects or advisories recorded across five consecutive annual tests. The single failure in July 2024—at 23,110 miles—was an administrative anomaly (likely a test centre error) rather than a mechanical issue, as no faults were logged. This consistency suggests the vehicle has been maintained at a basic level, though the lack of advisories or recurring faults does not guarantee hidden wear. The recorded mileage of 24,282 miles over 12 years—approximately 2,024 miles annually—is unusually low for a vehicle of this age, indicating either minimal use or prolonged periods of storage. The gap between the 2022 and 2023 tests (20,638 to 21,983 miles) shows a slight uptick in mileage, but the overall pattern remains stable. Such low mileage could imply deferred servicing, as owners may delay maintenance when a car isn’t driven frequently. However, it also means components like suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake calipers have seen far less stress than average, potentially extending their serviceable life. Given the clean MOT history, a buyer should prioritise an in-person inspection of high-wear items that aren’t always flagged in standard tests. The suspension—particularly the front and rear bushes—should be checked for cracking or excessive play, as these are common failure points in low-mileage cars that may have sat unused. Brake discs and pads, while not failed in tests, warrant inspection for uneven wear or corrosion, especially if the vehicle has been stored with dampness. Tyres, though not recorded as faulty, should be examined for uneven tread wear or embedded debris, which could indicate past neglect. Finally, the underbody and wheel arches should be scrutinised for corrosion, as prolonged standing increases rust risk in critical areas like the subframe or brake lines.
