2020 Hyundai I10 Premium MPI Auto 1.2L Petrol · LC20 WEF

The vehicle remains roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT in July 2025 at 13,199 miles. However, the maintenance trend shows a worsening condition regarding tyre integrity. While the car passes without major mechanical or structural failures, the recurring advisories for perishing and cracking across the last two tests indicate that the rubber is degrading due to age and inactivity rather than tread wear. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a six-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 2,200 miles per year. A significant gap in usage exists between the July 2023 test at 8,353 miles and the 2024 test at 12,886 miles, where only 4,533 miles were covered in a year. This pattern suggests the vehicle spends long periods stationary, which directly correlates with the chemical degradation of the tyres noted in the MOT records despite the low overall mileage. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of all four tyres, as the persistent cracking noted in both 2024 and 2025 suggests the sidewalls are reaching the end of their structural life. The low mileage also increases the risk of brake corrosion and flat-spotting; the inspector should check the brake discs for surface pitting and ensure the calipers are not seized from lack of use. Additionally, the rubber bushings in the suspension components should be checked for cracking, as low-use vehicles often suffer from dry rot that high-mileage cars avoid.
