2010 Hyundai I10 1.2L Petrol · FG10 AEW

The 2010 Hyundai i10 presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, evidenced by the most recent DVSA test on 24 January 2026 at 51,436 miles which recorded no defects. Every annual examination from 2021 through 2026 returned a pass with no advisories, indicating the vehicle has not suffered recurring mechanical or structural faults across the observed period. The odometer shows 51,436 miles against sixteen years of age, equating to roughly 3,215 miles per year. The records confirm light use: the car covered only 1,461 miles between the December 2021 test at 43,421 miles and the February 2023 test at 46,966 miles, then 1,988 miles to January 2024 at 48,954 miles, and a mere 1,061 miles to January 2025 at 50,375 miles. A single gap exists between February 2023 and December 2021 where no 2022 test appears, but the clean pass on return suggests no major lapse in care. Low annual mileage of this nature often means prolonged standing periods, which can accelerate perishable component degradation despite low wear on drivetrain parts. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake calipers, as these items can corrode or seize through inactivity rather than mileage. The MOT history shows no flagged structural rust or exhaust emissions failures, yet the absence of advisories does not exempt the vehicle from age-related deterioration invisible to the annual test. Given the unbroken pass record and minimal mileages, previous ownership appears to have maintained basic statutory compliance. Prospective purchasers should verify underbody corrosion and tyre sidewall condition, since low-use cars frequently develop cracking rubber while standing unused.
