2011 Hyundai I10 1.1L Petrol · MD11 XEC

The most recent MOT test conducted on 23 January 2026 resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. Looking at the history since 2022, the vehicle demonstrates an exceptionally stable maintenance trend, with a consistent record of passes and a notable absence of any recorded advisories. This suggests a vehicle that has been kept in a roadworthy condition without recurring mechanical failures or the gradual deterioration of key safety components. With a recorded mileage of 62,807 miles over approximately fifteen years, the vehicle has averaged roughly 4,187 miles per year. This is significantly lower than the national average for a vehicle of this vintage. While low mileage generally implies reduced wear on the engine internals, gearbox, and clutch, it also suggests the car may have spent extended periods stationary. Such usage patterns can lead to specific degradation issues that are not always captured during a standard MOT test. Given the clean MOT history and low annual usage, the prospective buyer should focus on age-related perishing rather than wear and tear. It is essential to inspect the tyre sidewalls for fine cracking or hardening, as tyres can perish due to age even if the tread depth remains legal. Similarly, the rubber suspension bushes and CV boots should be examined for dryness or splitting. During the test drive, listen for any clunks from the suspension or a lack of smoothness in the steering, which could indicate rubber components that have degraded from a lack of regular exercise. Particular attention should be paid to the braking system and fluid health. Check the brake discs for heavy surface corrosion or evidence of binding calipers, which often occurs when a vehicle stands for long periods. The 12V battery health should be verified, as low-mileage cars often suffer from premature battery failure. Finally, ensure the service history confirms calendar-based fluid changes. Engine oil, coolant, and brake fluid degrade over time regardless of mileage, and a lack of regular intervals can lead to internal sludge or corrosion within the cooling system.
