2018 Hyundai I10 1.0L Petrol · ML18 ACV

The 2018 Hyundai I10 remains roadworthy as of its most recent MOT on 2025-05-29 at 26,783 miles, with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend shows stability over the past four years, as all tests from 2021 to 2025 resulted in passing ratings with no reported issues. This suggests consistent adherence to regulatory standards, though the absence of advisories limits insight into potential wear patterns. The vehicle’s low mileage of 26,783 over eight years equates to approximately 3,348 miles annually, indicating minimal usage or extended periods of inactivity. Mileage progression reveals a steady increase, with the 2021 test at 15,711 miles followed by a jump to 21,539 miles by 2022-07-13—a 5,828-mile rise in 13 months. Subsequent tests show gradual accumulation, peaking at 26,783 miles in 2025. This pattern suggests intermittent use rather than continuous driving, which may affect components like suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake calipers if the vehicle was parked for prolonged periods. The lack of corrosion or structural issues in the MOT records is reassuring but does not confirm the absence of hidden wear. A buyer should inspect the underbody for rust, particularly around the chassis and wheel arches, as low mileage can mask corrosion from moisture exposure. Suspension components, including shock absorbers and anti-roll bars, warrant scrutiny for stiffness or uneven wear, which might indicate age-related degradation. Brake discs and pads should be checked for warping or uneven friction, while the exhaust system’s integrity is critical given the vehicle’s age. No overt faults are evident from the MOT history, but these areas require physical verification to confirm long-term reliability.
