2010 Hyundai I10 1.2L Petrol · ML10 ANF

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, though the history indicates a pattern of reactive rather than proactive maintenance. The latest test in June 2022 at 69,636 miles resulted in no recorded defects, suggesting that the issues identified in previous years were addressed. However, the vehicle has now gone nearly four years without a recorded MOT as of June 2026, which creates a significant data gap regarding the current state of mechanical components since the last professional inspection. At 69,636 miles, this sixteen-year-old Hyundai has covered exceptionally low mileage, averaging approximately 4,352 miles per year. The usage pattern appears consistent between 2019 and 2022, during which the car covered only roughly 7,000 miles over three years. While low mileage generally reduces wear on the engine and drivetrain, long periods of standing often lead to degradation of rubber-based components, seizing of brake calipers, and accelerated corrosion, which aligns with the specific faults noted in the historical record. A physical inspection must focus on the structural integrity and the state of the suspension. The June 2021 test flagged corrosion on both the front and rear structures, and while rigidity was not deemed compromised at that time, rust should be monitored to ensure it has not progressed into structural failure. The presence of corroded rear coil springs in 2020 suggests the environment is prone to moisture retention, necessitating a thorough check for cracks or thinning of the metalwork. The braking system and tyres also require scrutiny due to recurring reports of binding and uneven wear. In both 2020 and 2021, the tester identified binding on the offside rear service brakes. Furthermore, the 2021 report noted inner-edge wear on both front tyres, which indicates incorrect alignment or worn suspension bushes. Given the four-year lapse since the last MOT, a buyer should verify that the brakes remain free-moving and the tyres have not suffered from dry rot or flat spotting during the period of low use.
