2018 Hyundai I10 1.0L Petrol · JL59 EML

The Hyundai i10 presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, confirmed by the most recent DVSA test on 13 November 2025 at 18,599 miles where the tester recorded no defects. Every annual examination from 2021 through 2025 returned a pass with no advisories, indicating the vehicle has not suffered any worsening mechanical or structural condition over the four-year window. The mileage record shows consistently low use for an eight-year-old car. The tester logged 7,502 miles on 22 November 2021, rising to 11,112 by 1 December 2022, then 13,905 on 1 December 2023, 16,640 on 15 November 2024, and 18,599 on 13 November 2025. That averages roughly 2,300 miles per year with no abrupt jumps or dormant gaps. A clean sheet across all entries means no consumable neglect or deferred repairs surfaced in the official data. Given the absence of flagged faults, the previous owner clearly kept the car to a basic but sufficient standard, with no skipped tests or ignored advisories. Low annual mileage does, however, carry risks not visible in MOT results. Prolonged standing promotes perishing of rubber suspension bushes, degraded brake caliper seals, and flat-spotted tyres even when tread depth remains legal. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of underside corrosion, brake disc condition after likely low-use binding, and the age of tyres and flexible hoses. The record implies no serious structural or mechanical risk, but the 2025 pass offers no guarantee on components the tester did not need to fail.
