2009 Hyundai I10 1.2L Petrol · HK09 CWM

The Hyundai i10 presents as roadworthy following its most recent MOT pass on 26 June 2025 at 95,006 miles, with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend reads as stable on paper, though the test history shows a peculiar pattern of same-day fail-and-pass cycles that warrant scrutiny rather than reassurance. Recorded mileage sits at 95,006 against a 2009 build, averaging roughly 5,589 miles per year. The car covered 6,533 miles between the July 2023 test at 81,411 miles and the June 2024 test at 87,944 miles, then 7,062 miles to the June 2025 test. Low annual use for a 17-year-old vehicle suggests light running, yet the repeated failure entries at identical mileages imply the car may have stood idle between tests or undergone last-minute rectification. The June 2024 and June 2025 records each show a failure followed by a pass on the same date at the same mileage, with no defects listed on either outcome. DVSA systems log such pairs when a vehicle fails on administrative grounds or a tester aborts and reissues, but the absence of advisory notes across all five entries is atypical for a Korean supermini of this age. A buyer should physically inspect brake discs for corrosion from standing, check suspension bushes and coil springs for perishing, and confirm exhaust emissions and structural integrity underneath, since no tester has flagged wear the records would normally capture. Given the clean but irregular history, verify the V5C and any garage invoices to explain the dual fail-pass entries. Treat the no-advisories streak as unverified until a current inspection confirms tyre tread, binding calipers, and chassis rust are genuinely absent.
