2014 Hyundai I10 1.0L Petrol · FP64 JVD

The 2014 Hyundai i10 presents a stable and largely positive roadworthiness record, passing its most recent MOT on 8 September 2025 at 57,393 miles. While the vehicle has consistently passed its annual tests, the latest certificate carries several advisories that signal the onset of age-related wear rather than a sudden decline. The tester flagged perishing on both front tyres, front brake pads wearing thin, and pitted or scored front and rear brake discs. These are typical consumable items for a twelve-year-old city car, but their simultaneous appearance suggests the next owner should budget for brake and tyre renewal in the near term. No structural corrosion, suspension defects, or emissions failures have ever been recorded, which is a strong indicator of sound basic maintenance. The mileage profile reinforces the impression of careful, low-intensity use. Between the September 2024 test at 56,549 miles and the September 2025 test at 57,393 miles, the car covered just 844 miles over twelve months. Earlier years show a similar pattern: 723 miles between September 2022 and September 2023, and 1,364 miles between September 2023 and September 2024. Annual mileage has consistently sat well below 5,000 miles, which is unusually low for a vehicle of this age. Such light use typically preserves mechanical components but can cause its own issues, including perished rubber tyres and brake discs that surface from standing rather than wear. A buyer should focus the in-person inspection on the areas the MOT has flagged. Both front tyres show cracking or perishing, meaning replacement is likely needed regardless of remaining tread depth. The front brake pads are wearing thin and both front and rear discs are pitted or scored, so expect a brake overhaul within the next few thousand miles. Check the rear brake setup for binding, as the record shows no historical issues there, but low-mileage cars can develop sticking calipers or handbrake mechanisms after long parked periods. Beyond the advisories, examine the underside for any fresh surface rust or moisture ingress that can affect a car spending extended periods stationary. Suspension bushes, coil springs, and shock absorbers deserve a close look, since twelve-year-old rubber components can degrade through age alone, even with minimal mileage. The single historical failure, an offside stop lamp on 5 September 2022, was rectified the same day and has not recurred, so lighting is unlikely to be a concern. Overall, this i10 appears to have been looked after, but its low annual use means the next owner should prioritise rubber and brake components before relying on it for regular longer journeys.
