2010 Hyundai I10 1.2L Petrol · GJ10 PLF

The maintenance trend for this 2010 Hyundai i10 is exceptionally stable, reflecting a vehicle that has remained consistently roadworthy over the last five years. The most recent MOT on 4 March 2026 at 43,548 miles passed without a single defect, continuing an unblemished record stretching back to March 2022. This clean history indicates a car that has not suffered from any recurring mechanical or structural failures during this period. The mileage accumulation is remarkably low for a vehicle of this age, averaging roughly 2,722 miles per year. Between the 2022 test at 40,641 miles and the 2026 test at 43,548 miles, the car covered just 2,907 miles over four years. Notably, the odometer advanced by only 231 miles between March 2025 and March 2026, suggesting the vehicle is either used very sparingly or spends extended periods stationary. Such low usage minimizes wear on consumables like brake discs and tyres, though prolonged inactivity can cause its own issues, such as perished rubber components or brake calipers binding from lack of use. Given the absence of any recorded advisories or failures, there are no specific recurring faults to flag. However, the extremely low mileage and long periods of potential standing demand a focused physical inspection. A prospective buyer should closely examine the tyre sidewalls for age-related cracking, as tread depth may remain legal while the rubber deteriorates. Suspension bushes and exhaust mounts require checking for perishing, and the brake system needs a thorough assessment to ensure the discs have not surface-corroded and the calipers remain free. Verifying the structural integrity of the underbody is also prudent, as standing vehicles can sometimes trap moisture in hidden areas, leading to premature corrosion.
