2014 Hyundai I10 1.2L Petrol · MM64 EAY

The 2014 Hyundai I10 presents a clean and stable roadworthiness record. The most recent MOT, conducted on 14 November 2025 at 35,639 miles, passed with zero defects. A retest three days prior on 11 November 2025 at 35,637 miles also recorded no defects, indicating the initial failure was likely a minor administrative or sensor-related issue swiftly resolved. The maintenance trend is demonstrably stable and improving, with no recurring mechanical or structural advisories appearing across the entire five-year history. The mileage accumulation pattern is notably low for a twelve-year-old vehicle. Between the November 2022 test at 22,569 miles and the November 2023 test at 30,326 miles, the car covered 7,757 miles in a single year, a significant spike compared to the subsequent period. From November 2023 to November 2025, the mileage increased by only 5,313 miles over two full years, averaging roughly 2,656 miles annually. This suggests a shift from moderate use to very light, possibly short-journey usage in recent years, which can be harder on a small engine and exhaust system than steady motorway miles. Despite the clean MOT record, a buyer should physically inspect the underside for surface corrosion, particularly around suspension mounting points, brake lines, and the exhaust system, as short trips accelerate moisture-related deterioration. The front brake discs and pads, along with the condition of all four tyres, warrant close examination given the low annual mileage, which can lead to uneven wear and perished rubber from prolonged standing. A test drive should focus on listening for any suspension knocks or exhaust blow, as the 2023 mileage spike may have accelerated wear on bushes and mountings that have since settled into a quieter state.
