2008 Hyundai I10 1.1L Petrol · LP08 XVT

The Hyundai i10 presents as roadworthy following its most recent pass on 5 September 2025 at 64,349 miles, with the maintenance trend appearing stable across the last three years. The DVSA record shows no advisories or defects at any stage, and the vehicle cleared its final 2025 test without fault after an initial same-day failure logged with no recorded defects, suggesting an administrative or presentation issue rather than a mechanical concern. Recorded mileage sits at 64,349 against an 18-year lifespan, equating to roughly 3,575 miles per year. The car covered only 2,936 miles between the September 2023 test at 57,353 miles and the September 2024 test at 61,413 miles, then added 2,936 miles to reach 64,349 by September 2025. Such low annual use implies light running, though prolonged standing periods common with low-mileage vehicles can accelerate perishable component degradation such as tyre sidewall cracking and brake caliper seizure despite clean test outcomes. The repeated failure entries on 4 September 2024 at 61,411 miles and 5 September 2025 at 64,349 miles, both showing no defects, warrant scrutiny. A buyer should confirm with the selling garage whether these were documentation errors, duplicate submissions, or refusals on non-mechanical grounds such as number plate legibility or warning lamps. In person, the buyer should still inspect suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs for corrosion or binding given the car's age and likely static intervals. Examine underside structural integrity for rust, and verify exhaust emissions and tyre condition match the clean advisory history before purchase.
