2018 Hyundai I10 1.0L Petrol · FG18 HYP

The 2018 Hyundai i10 presents an entirely clean MOT record across five consecutive tests, with the most recent examination completed on 9 October 2025 at 19,437 miles. Every single test returned a pass with zero defects, advisories, or failures. This is an exceptionally rare outcome for a vehicle approaching eight years of age and indicates a stable, well-maintained condition with no recurring mechanical or structural issues flagged by any tester to date. The mileage pattern tells a clear story of very light use. The car covered just 4,909 miles between February 2022 and October 2022, then averaged roughly 4,700 miles per year through to October 2025. Critically, the recorded mileage of 19,437 miles has not moved at all between the October 2025 test and today, 16 June 2026. This suggests the vehicle has been standing unused for approximately eight months. A stationary period of that length raises concerns unrelated to the MOT record itself, including potential flat-spotted tyres, a discharged battery, stale fuel, and brake disc surface corrosion from prolonged parking. Despite the flawless paperwork, a buyer should not treat this car as mechanically proven without a physical inspection. Low-mileage vehicles that sit idle can develop issues that MOT tests do not capture, such as perished rubber suspension bushes, degraded brake fluid absorbing moisture, or seized handbrake mechanisms. The tyres deserve particular attention, as original rubber fitted to a 2018 vehicle will be approaching eight years old regardless of tread depth, making them a candidate for replacement due to age-related sidewall deterioration rather than wear. The MOT record itself, however, speaks very favourably. Five consecutive clean passes across nearly four years of testing demonstrate that no structural corrosion, exhaust emissions faults, braking deficiencies, or lighting defects have ever been identified. For a city car of this age, that is a strong indicator of consistent care. A pre-purchase inspection should focus on the tyres, brake condition after the long stationary period, fluid levels, and battery health rather than any systemic mechanical weakness, none of which appear in the official record.
