2017 Hyundai I10 1.2L Petrol · FP17 NTU

The vehicle presents a stable and sound maintenance trend, culminating in a clean pass on 10 April 2026 at 88,012 miles. The absence of any recorded defects across the entire MOT history indicates a car that has required no mechanical corrections to meet roadworthiness standards. The anomalous failure logged on 9 April 2026 at the identical mileage, despite showing no defects, likely represents a testing abort or administrative error rather than a mechanical fault, given the immediate clean pass the following day. Overall, the maintenance trajectory remains consistently positive, showing no signs of deterioration or recurring mechanical issues. The recorded mileage of 88,012 miles over nine years equates to an average annual accumulation of approximately 9,779 miles, aligning perfectly with typical domestic usage. The chronological progression demonstrates steady, incremental wear rather than prolonged dormancy or excessive short-hop running. Between the March 2023 test at 65,674 miles and the March 2024 test at 74,193 miles, the car covered 8,519 miles. The subsequent year saw a slight uptick to 9,514 miles, recorded in February 2025 at 78,707 miles. Most recently, the vehicle accrued 9,305 miles between February 2025 and the April 2026 test. This consistent accumulation pattern suggests regular, sustained use without alarming spikes or suspicious mileage gaps. Although the MOT record remains entirely free of advisories or defects, a physical inspection must still focus on the inherent wear points of a city car covering nearly 90,000 miles. A buyer should closely examine the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs, as urban driving frequently accelerates wear on these components, which might not yet present a measurable MOT failure but could cause knocks or vague handling. The braking system requires scrutiny; check the condition of the brake discs and pads for lipping or uneven wear, and ensure the calipers are not binding, a common issue on small hatchbacks used predominantly for short journeys. Inspect the exhaust system for corrosion, particularly around the flexi-joint and mounting points, and verify the structural integrity of the underbody and sills for any signs of surface rust or poorly repaired corrosion. Finally, assess the tyre condition across all four corners, looking for uneven wear patterns that could indicate misalignment or suspension geometry issues not yet severe enough to trigger a test failure.
