2010 Hyundai I10 1.2L Petrol · LP59 OMO

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend indicates a reactive approach to repairs rather than preventative care. The most recent test in January 2026 at 119,763 miles resulted in a pass following several failures related to lighting and eyesight. While the car meets the minimum legal requirements, the recurrence of multiple electrical and adjustment faults across consecutive years suggests that the owner only addresses defects when they become necessary to combination the MOT test. At 119,763 miles over 16 years, the car has averaged approximately 7,500 miles per year, which is consistent with low-to-mid-range city usage. The' data shows steady progression, with roughly 3,500 miles covered between January 2024 and 2025, and another 3,300 miles thereafter. This consistent use suggests the vehicle has not sat stationary for extended periods, though the age of the car makes rubber components and metal fatigue more likely concerns. A buyer must pay close attention to the rear suspension assembly. The January 2025 test flagged both the nearside and offside rear coil springs for corrosion. While these did not cause a failure at that time, corrosion on springs often leads to structural fractures over time. A physical inspection is required to check for deep pitting or cracks in the spring coils to ensure they have not reached a point of imminent failure since the adviser. The electrical history also highlights potential issues with wiring and adjustment. The 2026 failure regarding headlamp leveling and aim, combined with a previously inoperative washer system, points to an aging wiring harness. The buyer should verify that the headlamp levelling device now functions correctly and inspect the exterior looms and switches for degradation. The deteriorated rear registration plate, which has been noted for two years, should be replaced to avoid future test failures.
