2022 Hyundai I10 SE Connect MPI 1.2L Petrol · LL22 HKB

The most recent MOT, carried out on 13 July 2026, was passed with no recorded defects, mirroring the clean result from the previous test on 1 July 2025. This uninterrupted record of passing suggests a stable maintenance pattern; there are no indications of deteriorating components or recurring faults, and the vehicle appears to have been kept in a condition that meets the statutory safety and emissions standards. At four years old the i10 has logged only 10 207 miles, averaging roughly 2 550 miles per annum. Such low annual mileage is well below the typical UK usage rate and usually points to either very light daily driving or extended periods of inactivity. Light use reduces wear on wear‑items such as brake pads, clutch and tyre tread, but it also raises the likelihood that components have aged without the benefit of regular heat cycles, meaning rubber and fluid degradation can occur despite the low mileage. Given the clean MOT history and the vehicle’s modest mileage, a prospective buyer should focus on age‑related checks. Inspect the tyres for sidewall cracking, dry rot or any signs of perishing, and verify that the tread depth meets legal limits; even unused tyres can become brittle after several years. Examine the 12‑volt battery for corrosion on the terminals and test its charge capacity, as batteries left idle for long periods often lose capacity. Look under the vehicle for any rust on the chassis, suspension arms or exhaust system, and check the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs for cracking or loss of compliance, which can develop from prolonged standing. Verify that the service book shows timely oil changes and that the engine oil, coolant, brake fluid and power‑steering fluid have been replaced according to the manufacturer’s calendar intervals, not just mileage. During a test drive, listen for any clunking or knocking from the suspension, especially when encountering bumps, and feel for any shudder or pulsation through the brake pedal which could indicate rusted discs or sticking calipers. Observe the steering for any play or vibration, and ensure that all lights, indicators and the exhaust emissions system operate correctly. A thorough visual inspection of the under‑tray, wheel bearings and the condition of the drive belts will also help confirm that the vehicle’s low‑mileage advantage has not been offset by time‑related wear.
