2016 Hyundai I10 1.2L Petrol · LT16 EWK

The 2016 Hyundai i10 presents a stable and positive maintenance trend, culminating in a completely clean pass on 30 March 2026 at 70,528 miles with zero defects recorded. This outcome indicates the vehicle currently meets all required safety and emissions standards without any immediate mechanical or structural concerns. The maintenance trajectory remains stable, showing no recurring faults or escalating wear patterns across the recorded history. A clean sweep of passes, barring a single failed test on 31 March 2025 at 66,062 miles which was rectified by the following day, suggests the previous owner addressed issues promptly rather than ignoring them. The vehicle's mileage accumulation aligns closely with typical usage for a city car of this age. Between the April 2023 test at 51,382 miles and the April 2024 test at 60,328 miles, the i10 covered 8,946 miles over twelve months. The subsequent year saw a reduction in use, traveling 5,742 miles between April 2024 and April 2025. The most recent period from April 2025 to March 2026 shows a further drop to just 4,458 miles. This gradual reduction in annual mileage indicates lighter recent use, which typically reduces wear on consumables like brake discs, suspension bushes, and the exhaust system. Given the entirely defect-free MOT record, there are no specific recurring mechanical failures to highlight. However, the drop in annual mileage warrants a physical inspection for issues associated with short-journey driving or prolonged standing. A buyer should inspect the brake calipers for signs of binding or corrosion, as low-mileage vehicles often suffer from discs rusting and pads sticking rather than wearing evenly. The exhaust system and catalytic converter require a cold start check to ensure the engine reaches optimal operating temperature efficiently, preventing moisture buildup and internal rust. Suspension components, particularly the coil springs and mounting bushes, should be checked for deterioration, as urban driving over speed bumps can degrade these parts regardless of low overall mileage.
