2017 Hyundai I10 1.0L Petrol · FG67 UNN

The 2017 Hyundai i10 presents a highly stable maintenance trend, culminating in a clean pass on 7 October 2025 at 41,121 miles. No defects were recorded during this most recent examination. The vehicle demonstrates consistent mechanical integrity across its recent history, with no recurring faults or advisories to indicate a worsening or deteriorating condition. A single failed test occurred on 17 October 2024 at 36,469 miles, yet the record shows no defects for that failure or the subsequent same-day retest. This suggests an administrative discrepancy or an instantly rectified minor issue rather than a significant mechanical breakdown. At nine years of age with 41,121 miles recorded, the vehicle has covered roughly 4,569 miles annually, reflecting notably low usage. The mileage accumulation remains steady rather than sporadic. Between September 2023 at 30,208 miles and October 2024 at 36,469 miles, the car covered 6,261 miles over thirteen months. The following year, up to the October 2025 test, it added 4,652 miles. Such low annual mileage often points to short, localized journeys or extended periods of standing. Prolonged inactivity can cause specific issues like brake disc corrosion, tyre flat-spotting, or seized brake calipers, even when overall wear remains minimal. Despite the flawless MOT record, a physical inspection must focus on components susceptible to low-mileage deterioration. Check the brake discs for surface rust and the calipers for binding, as short trips prevent pads from wiping corrosion from the discs. Inspect the tyres for sidewall cracking or date-code aging, since low annual mileage means the original rubber may persist past its safe lifespan. Examine the suspension bushes and coil springs for perishing, and verify the exhaust system for moisture-induced corrosion. The underbody and structural mounting points require close scrutiny for any signs of surface rust that might not yet constitute an MOT failure but could indicate storage in damp conditions.
