2009 Hyundai I10 1.2L Petrol · MF59 URM

The Hyundai i10 presents as roadworthy following its most recent MOT pass on 4 November 2025 at 79,262 miles with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend is stable across the available history, with every recorded test either passing or failing on administrative grounds rather than mechanical fault. The November 2025 failure at identical mileage and same date as the pass indicates a clerical or process anomaly at the testing station, not a mechanical defect. No advisories or worn components appear anywhere in the record. The odometer shows 79,262 miles against a 2009 build, an average of roughly 4,662 miles per year. This is low for a 17-year-old vehicle. Mileage moved from 65,642 in September 2023 to 73,078 by August 2024, then to 79,262 by November 2025, a gentle annual accumulation of around 4,000 to 6,000 miles. The sparse but clean record gives no evidence of rapid use or neglected intervals; the low figure may reflect light urban running or periods off the road. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection despite the clean MOT slate. Low-mileage cars of this age often sit unused, which allows suspension bushes, brake calipers, and coil springs to degrade through stagnation rather than wear. The tester logged no corrosion or structural concerns, yet 17 years invites underbody rust and perished rubber that a visual test at 79,262 miles did not flag. Verify the brake discs for lip and the handbrake mechanism for binding after standing. Confirm tyre sidewall condition and check for fluid leaks around the drivetrain. The record implies a previous owner who kept basic statutory testing current, but the twin 2023 and 2025 same-day fail-pass pairs suggest administrative noise rather than care gaps on consumables.
