2015 Hyundai I10 1.2L Petrol · GF64 MYK

The Hyundai i10 presents a clean MOT history over its recent testing cycle, with the most recent January 2026 inspection at 37,122 miles showing no defects—an outcome mirrored in the three preceding passes from January 2025 and December 2023. The sole failure in December 2023, despite occurring on the same mileage (34,379 miles), carried no recorded defects, suggesting a procedural or administrative issue rather than a mechanical one. This consistency indicates stable roadworthiness, with no evidence of recurring faults or deteriorating components. The absence of advisories or minor defects across all tests further implies that routine maintenance—such as tyre rotations, fluid top-ups, or basic wear checks—has been addressed promptly by previous owners. The vehicle’s mileage of 37,122 miles over roughly 11 years reflects unusually light usage, averaging just over 3,300 miles annually. Such low mileage could point to infrequent driving, extended periods of inactivity, or even potential odometer discrepancies, though the gradual accumulation (e.g., 33,036 miles in January 2023 to 35,643 miles in January 2025) suggests genuine low usage rather than tampering. The lack of rapid mileage spikes or large gaps between tests also reduces concerns about sudden wear or neglect. However, the stagnant mileage raises questions about how components like suspension bushes, coil springs, or brake pads—typically worn by regular use—have aged under such light conditions. Given the absence of defects in the MOT record, a buyer should still verify a few critical areas in person. The suspension, particularly the front strut mounts and rear trailing arm bushes, should be checked for stiffness or excessive play, as low-mileage vehicles can still develop binding or degraded rubber from age rather than wear. Brakes, including caliper operation and disc condition, warrant inspection, as corrosion or seized components can occur even with minimal use. Structural integrity, especially around wheel arches and sills, should be assessed for surface rust or corrosion, given the vehicle’s age and potential exposure to moisture during periods of inactivity. Finally, while the MOT history is flawless, a pre-purchase inspection should confirm fluid levels, tyre condition (including uneven wear from past neglect), and the health of the exhaust system for leaks or corrosion.
