2022 Hyundai I10 SE Connect MPI Auto 1.0L Petrol · LL22 GVC

The most recent MOT test conducted on 20 May 2026 resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a successful test in May 2025, indicating a highly stable and consistent maintenance trend. The absence of any recorded issues suggests that the vehicle has consistently met the required DVSA standards for structural integrity, braking efficiency, and exhaust emissions, presenting a clean regulatory profile for a prospective buyer. The vehicle's recorded mileage of 10,300 miles is notably low for a four-year-old car, averaging approximately 2,575 miles per year. While this low usage implies minimal mechanical wear on the engine, transmission, and suspension components, it also suggests the vehicle may have spent extended periods stationary. In the automotive industry, extremely low mileage can sometimes mask issues related to component stagnation, such as the drying out of rubber seals or the degradation of fluids that occur due to time rather than distance travelled. Given the clean MOT history and low mileage, your physical inspection should focus on age-related degradation rather than wear-based failure. Closely examine the tyres for any signs of perishing, such as sidewall cracking or fine cracks in the tread grooves, which can occur from UV exposure and long periods of standing. You should also inspect the brake discs for heavy corrosion or pitting and ensure the calipers are not binding, as infrequent use can cause brake components to seize. During the test drive, listen for any clunks or knocks from the suspension bushes or coil springs, which may have stiffened or degraded due to lack of regular movement. Additionally, it is vital to verify that the vehicle has been serviced according to the manufacturer's time-based intervals rather than just mileage. Even with low usage, engine oil and brake fluid should be replaced periodically to prevent chemical degradation. Check the condition of the 12V battery, as low-use vehicles are susceptible to charge loss or reduced capacity. Finally, inspect the engine bay for any signs of fluid weeping from gaskets or seals, as these components can occasionally fail when they are not regularly lubricated by the movement of fluids during operation.
