2019 Hyundai I10 1.0L Petrol · FT19 XVL

This Hyundai i10 has maintained a consistent MOT pass record with no defects recorded across five consecutive tests, most recently passing on 24 June 2025 at 22,342 miles. The absence of advisories or failures suggests the vehicle has undergone regular, if not meticulous, servicing, though the lack of recorded defects does not preclude hidden wear—particularly in areas like suspension bushes or coil springs, which often fail without MOT flags. The most recent test, just over a year ago, aligns with the standard annual MOT cycle, indicating compliance with legal requirements but not necessarily proactive maintenance beyond statutory thresholds. The recorded mileage of 22,342 miles over seven years—approximately 3,192 miles annually—is unusually low for a vehicle of this age, suggesting either minimal use or prolonged periods of inactivity. The mileage increments between tests are consistent: roughly 4,000 miles per year, with no abrupt spikes or prolonged gaps that might indicate neglect or extended storage without servicing. While low mileage generally correlates with reduced wear on consumables like tyres or brake pads, it also raises questions about whether components such as suspension dampers or steering linkages have been exposed to moisture or static conditions, which can accelerate deterioration. Given the clean MOT history, a buyer should prioritise a thorough inspection of suspension components, including the condition of coil springs, bushes, and dampers, as these often degrade silently and are not routinely tested. The brakes, while not flagged in past tests, warrant scrutiny for uneven wear or binding calipers, particularly if the vehicle has been stationary for extended periods. Examine the underside for corrosion, especially around wheel arches and sills, as rust can compromise structural integrity without immediate MOT consequences. Finally, verify the integrity of the exhaust system and catalytic converter, as emissions-related failures are common in low-mileage vehicles that may have been driven sporadically.
