2019 Hyundai I10 1.2L Petrol · FT19 LPA

This 2019 Hyundai I10 presents an exemplary roadworthiness record, maintaining a completely clean maintenance trend across all five documented MOT tests. The most recent examination on 29 April 2026 at 12,680 miles returned a pass with zero defects, advisories, or warnings, confirming the vehicle remains in sound mechanical and structural health. This unblemished status has been consistent since the first recorded test on 26 April 2022 at 4,551 miles, demonstrating a stable and well-maintained condition with no emerging or recurring faults. The mileage profile reveals exceptionally low usage for a seven-year-old city car. Annual accumulation averages just 1,811 miles, with increments between tests remaining remarkably steady: 1,673 miles between April 2022 and April 2023, 1,853 miles between April 2023 and April 2024, 2,420 miles between April 2024 and April 2025, and 2,183 miles between April 2025 and April 2026. This pattern suggests consistent short-journey urban motoring rather than prolonged storage, which is generally favourable for preventing moisture-related corrosion in the exhaust and braking systems. The absence of any mileage anomalies or gaps in the record further supports a transparent and accurately documented service history. Despite the clean MOT record, the low annual mileage warrants a focused physical inspection of components susceptible to deterioration from infrequent use. Buyers should examine the tyre sidewalls for age-related cracking, as the original factory-fit rubber may be approaching seven years old regardless of remaining tread depth. Brake discs and pads should be inspected for surface corrosion and uneven wear, common in vehicles used predominantly for short urban trips where components rarely reach full operating temperature. The exhaust system, particularly the flexible joint and mounting rubbers, merits close scrutiny for early-stage corrosion that may not yet trigger an MOT failure but could develop into a costly repair. Suspension components, including front lower arm bushes, rear beam bushings, and shock absorber dust covers, should be checked for perishing, though no defects were flagged in testing. The vehicle's underbody and sills require a thorough inspection for stone chips and surface rust, as city driving over speed bumps and road debris can compromise protective coatings over time. The clean MOT history strongly suggests diligent ownership, but a pre-purchase inspection by a qualified technician remains prudent to verify the condition of age-sensitive consumables and hidden structural areas not covered by the MOT scope.
