2019 Hyundai I10 1.0L Petrol · HD19 NKN

This 2019 Hyundai I10 presents a solid and improving roadworthiness profile, culminating in a completely clean MOT pass on 2 June 2026 at 16,269 miles with zero defects recorded. The maintenance trend over the last two years is clearly resolving, moving from a minor advisory in 2023 to consecutive passes with no faults in 2024 and 2025. The current certificate is valid through to early July 2026, giving a buyer immediate peace of mind on the mechanical and structural front. The mileage accumulation tells a consistent story of light, regular use. Between the June 2025 test at 14,155 miles and the June 2026 test at 16,269 miles, the car covered just 2,114 miles in twelve months, which is slightly below the already low annual average of approximately 2,324 miles across its seven-year life. There are no suspicious gaps or sudden jumps in the record. The 2024 test cluster shows a retest on the same day at 11,292 miles, indicating a prompt repair of the failed steering rack gaiter, and the subsequent mileage progression from 11,292 in May 2024 to 14,155 in June 2025 confirms the car was driven regularly throughout that period. The only historical defect worth noting is the 2024 failure for a missing nearside steering rack gaiter, a component that prevents dirt ingress into the rack assembly. The fact that it was rectified the same day and has not recurred suggests the repair was carried out properly. The 2023 advisory for a defective nearside wiper blade is a consumable item and carries no long-term mechanical significance. With no recurring faults, no corrosion mentions, and no brake or suspension defects on record, the car's mechanical care appears thorough. A buyer should still carry out a physical inspection focused on areas the MOT does not fully stress-test. Check the condition of the tyre sidewalls and tread depth, as low annual mileage can mean tyres age out before they wear out. Examine the underside for any fresh surface corrosion, particularly around suspension mounting points and the exhaust system, given the car's city-car usage pattern. Test the steering for any excess play or uneven effort across full lock, and verify that the nearside gaiter repair remains intact with no splits or grease weeping. A short drive over speed bumps will reveal any developing suspension bush wear or damper deterioration that a static inspection might miss.
