2017 Hyundai I10 1.0L Petrol · FN09 EUA

The 2017 Hyundai I10 displays a stable maintenance trend, with the most recent MOT on 13 December 2025 at 37,963 miles passing without any defects recorded. This clean result aligns with the broader history of passes, indicating the vehicle has been maintained to a roadworthy standard. One irregularity appears in the record: a failed test on 3 January 2024 at 33,860 miles lists no defects, which is atypical and likely points to an administrative or procedural issue rather than a mechanical fault, particularly since the retest on the same day passed without comment. The mileage accumulation is low for a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging roughly 4,218 miles annually. Between the January 2023 test at 31,196 miles and the December 2025 test at 37,963 miles, the car covered approximately 6,767 miles over nearly three years, confirming consistently light use. The gaps between tests are regular, with no abrupt increases in mileage that would suggest a shift in driving habits or prolonged periods of inactivity. Despite the clean MOT record, a buyer should inspect several components in person, as low-mileage vehicles often suffer age-related deterioration rather than wear. Check the tyres for cracking or perishing, particularly if the original rubber remains, as tyres over five years old can harden and lose grip regardless of tread depth. Examine the brake discs and pads for surface corrosion, which develops quickly on a car used for short journeys, and inspect the exhaust system for corrosion around joints and mounting points. Suspension bushes and shock absorbers should also be checked for perishing, as infrequent use can cause rubber components to degrade without showing obvious play during a static inspection. The underbody and structural elements warrant close attention. Even with low mileage, a car of this age may have encountered road salt or standing water, so inspect the sills, subframes, and floor pan for corrosion. The brake lines and fuel lines should be examined for rust or chafing, and the handbrake mechanism is worth verifying, as low use can lead to sticking or reduced effectiveness. A test drive will reveal any binding calipers, suspension clunks, or steering issues that a static inspection might miss.
