2017 Hyundai I10 1.2L Petrol · EY67 FZP

The most recent MOT test conducted in September 2025 resulted in a pass with no recorded defects, indicating a positive recent maintenance trajectory. Looking at the broader history, the vehicle has maintained a stable profile with only occasional advisories. The 2024 advisory regarding corrosion on the rear inner brake disc surfaces was resolved by the subsequent clean pass, suggesting that the issue was either superficial or addressed. The overall trend is one of consistent compliance, showing no signs of escalating mechanical neglect or structural deterioration. With a recorded mileage of 32,741 over nine years, this Hyundai i10 has been driven significantly less than the typical UK average, averaging approximately 3,638 miles per annum. While this low mileage suggests minimal wear on the drivetrain, engine internals, and suspension geometry, it also carries the risk of age-related degradation due to infrequent use. Vehicles with this usage profile are often subject to shorter, less demanding journeys which can affect the thermal cycling of the engine and the overall health of various consumables. Given the low usage, a physical inspection should prioritise age-related wear over mileage-related wear. Closely examine the tyres for signs of perishing or sidewall cracking, as rubber can become brittle and unsafe even if the tread depth remains high. You should also inspect the braking system for signs of binding calipers or excessive disc corrosion, which can occur when a vehicle sits stationary for long periods. During your test drive, pay close attention to any brake shudder, which could indicate warped discs, or any clunking sounds from the suspension that might suggest perished rubber bushes or weakened coil springs. It is essential to verify that the service history follows a calendar-based schedule rather than strictly following mileage intervals. Engine oil and brake fluid should be replaced annually to prevent moisture contamination and chemical degradation, regardless of how few miles have been driven. Furthermore, check the condition of the 12V battery, as low-frequency driving often fails to provide sufficient charging time, which can lead to unexpected electrical failures. Finally, ensure that the windscreen is entirely clear of chips or cracks, as the previous advisory suggests the glass may be susceptible to damage.
