2013 Hyundai I10 1.2L Petrol · FP13 YRF

The 2013 Hyundai i10 presents a stable maintenance trend, culminating in a clean pass on 12 June 2025 at 116,487 miles with zero defects recorded. The preceding test on 11 June 2025 at 116,478 miles shows a failure, yet curiously lists no defects. This anomaly typically indicates an administrative refusal or an aborted test rather than a mechanical failure, as the vehicle passed the following day with no rectification mileage. The absence of advisories or failures across the recorded history suggests a well-maintained vehicle with no recurring mechanical or structural issues. The mileage accumulation aligns closely with typical usage for a thirteen-year-old city car, averaging roughly 8,961 miles annually. Between the June 2023 test at 97,204 miles and the June 2024 test at 108,215 miles, the vehicle covered 11,011 miles, indicating a period of regular use. However, the mileage plateaued significantly thereafter, traveling only 8,272 miles over the subsequent twelve months leading up to the June 2025 test at 116,487 miles. This recent drop in annual mileage suggests lighter use or potential periods of standing, which can cause its own issues like brake disc corrosion or tyre flat-spotting. Despite the pristine MOT record, a prospective buyer must look beyond the paperwork. The repeated pattern of failing a test with no recorded defects before passing the next day warrants scrutiny; verify whether this was an administrative error or a minor pre-test rectification like a blown bulb. Given the recent reduction in mileage, inspect the brake discs for surface corrosion and check the tyres for uneven wear or cracking from standing. Examine the suspension bushes and coil springs for deterioration typical of a thirteen-year-old vehicle, and check the exhaust system for corrosion, as city cars often suffer from premature rust due to short journeys.
