2019 Hyundai I10 1.2L Petrol · FR19 RMV

This Hyundai i10 has maintained a consistent MOT pass history across four consecutive tests, with no defects or advisories recorded in any of the most recent examinations. The vehicle passed its final MOT on 28 July 2025 at 38,616 miles, just over a year ago, which is well within the standard 12-month validity period. The absence of recurring issues across all tests suggests the vehicle has been kept in a stable condition, though the lack of advisories or defects does not preclude the need for a thorough independent inspection. The most recent test date aligns closely with the current date, indicating the vehicle has not been driven since passing, which could either reflect recent purchase or storage. The recorded mileage of 38,616 miles over seven years—approximately 5,517 miles annually—is unusually low for a vehicle of this age, particularly given typical UK usage patterns. The incremental mileage increases between tests are consistent: 3,235 miles between 2022 and 2023, 6,765 miles between 2023 and 2024, and 6,495 miles between 2024 and 2025. This suggests the vehicle has either been lightly used or stored for extended periods, which may have mitigated some wear-and-tear. However, prolonged inactivity can also lead to issues such as flat spots on tyres, degraded suspension fluids, or minor corrosion from exposure. The lack of advisories does not confirm whether routine maintenance—such as fluid changes or suspension servicing—has been performed, so these should be verified. Given the clean MOT history, a buyer should prioritise an inspection of high-wear components that are not always flagged in standard MOT tests. Focus on the suspension, particularly the condition of coil springs, bushes, and dampers, as these are not routinely checked for wear beyond obvious defects. The brakes, while not failing in MOTs, should be assessed for uneven wear or binding calipers, especially if the vehicle has been stored. Tyre tread depth and lateral wear patterns are critical, given the low mileage—flat spots or uneven wear could indicate past neglect. Finally, examine the underbody for corrosion, particularly around wheel arches and the sills, as this is often overlooked in MOTs but can compromise structural integrity. The absence of advisories does not guarantee these areas are sound.
