2010 Hyundai I10 1.2L Petrol · GP59 BVH

The most recent MOT, conducted on 17 July 2025 at 84,223 miles, was a clean pass with zero defects recorded. This represents a significant improvement over the preceding two years of testing. The maintenance trend is clearly improving, with the vehicle moving from a failure in June 2024 to a fully compliant pass twelve months later. The 2024 failure and its subsequent retest exposed recurring suspension wear on the offside front, specifically the anti-roll bar D bush and linkage ball joint, both flagged as worn with slight play. These advisories were not carried forward into the 2025 pass, indicating that the offside front suspension components were likely replaced or repaired between June 2024 and July 2025. The tester also flagged binding rear brakes in May 2023, which did not recur in later tests, suggesting that issue was also rectified. Overall, the record shows a vehicle that had accumulated minor faults but has since been brought back to a sound mechanical standard. The mileage profile is notably low for a 2010 vehicle now over sixteen years old. At 84,223 miles, the annual average sits at roughly 5,264 miles per year, well below the typical UK figure of around 8,000 miles annually. The record shows a gap of over twelve months between the July 2025 test at 84,223 miles and the June 2024 test at 72,937 miles, during which the car covered 11,286 miles. This is a relatively high annual figure for such a low-mileage vehicle and may indicate a period of more intensive use or a correction after a quieter spell. Between May 2023 and June 2024, the vehicle added just 4,697 miles over thirteen months, reinforcing the pattern of light, inconsistent use. The sparse testing frequency, with only one test in each of 2023, 2024, and 2025, leaves some gaps in oversight, but the data points are consistent and show no signs of mileage tampering. A buyer should focus their in-person inspection on the front suspension and braking systems, given the recurring nature of the flagged faults. The offside front anti-roll bar linkage and D bush were flagged twice in 2024, and while the 2025 pass suggests repair, it is worth checking for fresh components, uneven bush wear, or play in the ball joint by rocking the wheel at the front corner. The rear braking system also demands attention. The May 2023 failure recorded binding rear service brakes and worn rear pads, which implies the rear calipers may have been sticking. A road test should confirm that the car does not pull to one side under braking and that the handbrake holds firmly on a slope. Tyre condition has been a persistent advisory across multiple tests, with both offside and nearside tyres repeatedly flagged for edge wear and low tread. This pattern often points to misaligned tracking or worn suspension geometry, so the buyer should inspect the inner edges of all four tyres carefully and consider a four-wheel alignment check before purchase.
