2008 Hyundai I10 1.2L Petrol · FG58 KBE

The 2008 Hyundai i10 presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, confirmed by the most recent test on 16 December 2025 at 67,545 miles which passed with no defects recorded. Prior annual tests in December 2024 at 65,773 miles and December 2023 at 63,584 miles also passed cleanly. The only blemish is a failed test logged on 5 December 2023 at 63,581 miles, reversed the same day by a pass at 63,584 miles with no defects listed, indicating a likely administrative or retest correction rather than a mechanical fault. Recorded mileage sits at 67,545 against an 18-year lifespan, averaging roughly 3,752 miles per year. The DVSA data shows gentle annual accumulation: 61,377 miles in December 2022, 63,584 by December 2023, 65,773 by December 2024, and 67,545 by December 2025. Low yearly use of this pattern often means long stationary periods. The clean record across five entries suggests the previous keeper kept basic statutory testing current, though sparse advisory data leaves consumable and structural condition unverified. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the vehicle's age and likely idle intervals. Standing time promotes corrosion on structural members and brake calipers even when MOT results stay clear. The absence of recorded advisories means worn tyres, wiper blades, or exhaust emissions issues were not flagged, but such items degrade invisibly between tests. Verify underside structural integrity and check for binding calipers or flat-spotted tyres from disuse before purchase. The history implies compliant ownership, yet low mileage on an older car demands hands-on scrutiny the MOT ledger cannot supply.
