2022 Hyundai I10 Premium MPI 1.0L Petrol · LL72 JHH

The vehicle most recently passed its MOT on 14 May 2026 with no defects or advisories recorded, representing a clean test outcome and the most current certification of roadworthiness. The preceding test on 19 June 2025 also resulted in a pass, though two advisories were logged concerning the nearside and offside front tyres, both noted as worn close to the legal limit on their inner edges. With no failures present in the recorded history and a clean return to form in 2026, the overall maintenance trend can be characterised as stable. The advisory items were addressed or replaced ahead of the most recent test, and the absence of any new concerns at the 2026 examination suggests the owner has maintained the consumable items to a satisfactory standard. With 41,488 miles recorded over approximately four years, this Hyundai i10 has covered around 10,372 miles annually, which sits comfortably within the typical usage bracket for a vehicle of its age and class. There is no evidence in the mileage progression of extended standing periods or unusually heavy use, meaning wear-related degradation should be progressing at a broadly predictable rate. For a small city-oriented hatchback driven at this frequency, the mechanical components including clutch, brakes, tyres, and suspension should have incurred moderate but not excessive wear. The steady usage pattern is generally favourable for long-term component longevity, as it avoids both the corrosion risks of low-mileage or stored vehicles and the accelerated wear associated with high annual mileages. Given the advisory concerning inner-edge wear on both front tyres at the previous test, particular attention should be directed to the current set of tyres during a physical inspection. Inner-edge wear typically points toward a wheel alignment issue, worn suspension components, or incorrect camber geometry, and although the tyres may have been replaced, the underlying cause may still be present. On a test drive, listen for any knocking or clunking from the front suspension over uneven surfaces, particularly over speed humps and potholes, and pay attention to steering stability, tracking, or vibration through the wheel, all of which could indicate lingering tracking or bush wear. Visually inspect the sidewalls and tread for uneven wear patterns, cracking, or perishing, as tyres of similar age can degrade even with reasonable tread depth, particularly if the vehicle has spent time parked outdoors. Beyond the advisory items, the general age and mileage profile warrant a number of practical checks consistent with a four-year-old vehicle approaching mid-life. The 12V battery should be tested for cranking performance, as batteries of this age frequently begin to show reduced capacity, particularly if the car is used for short journeys typical of city driving. Brake discs should be examined for any corrosion ridges or lipping, and the calipers should be checked for smooth operation and freedom from binding, as standing periods can encourage surface corrosion that affects brake feel. Fluid conditions, including brake fluid, coolant, and the manual transmission or automatic gearbox oil where applicable, should be verified against the manufacturer's service schedule, as these degrade over time regardless of mileage. Finally, a thorough under-bonnet inspection for fluid leaks, condition of drive belts, and evidence of recent servicing in the service book will help confirm that the vehicle has been maintained conscientiously rather than merely passed through its MOT inspections by addressing advisories as they arise.
