2019 Hyundai I10 1.2L Petrol · MT19 LGV

The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT following a pass on 2026-04-03 at 6,750 miles with no recorded defects, indicating it is in roadworthy condition at the time of the most recent test. This follows a failed test on the same day at one mile less, where four minor but interrelated issues were identified: insufficient washer fluid delivery, ineffective offside front wiper operation, a defective nearside front wiper blade, and a binding nearside rear service brake. The immediate resolution of all defects suggests prompt remedial action was taken, reflecting a responsive maintenance approach. The broader trend since 2023 shows consistent annual passes aside from this isolated failure, pointing to generally stable upkeep. With approximately 6,750 miles recorded over seven years, the car averages just 964 miles per year, which is low for its age. Mileage accumulation has been steady but minimal, increasing by roughly 950 miles annually between tests from 2023 to 2026, with no significant gaps or sudden jumps in use. This pattern indicates light, possibly seasonal or short-trip usage, which may mean underutilisation rather than neglect. However, prolonged periods of inactivity can contribute to rubber degradation, brake sticking, and fluid stagnation despite low wear. Although no structural corrosion or major mechanical faults appear in the MOT history, the brief brake binding issue in April 2026 warrants attention. A buyer should inspect the rear braking system thoroughly, particularly the nearside caliper, slide pins, and hoses, as binding can stem from seized components even after passing. The repeated wiper and washer failures suggest potential weaknesses in the screen cleaning system—check washer pump output, hose integrity, and wiper arm tension or motor alignment. Given the low mileage and age, inspect suspension bushes, coil springs, and tyre condition for dry rot or flat-spotting from storage. Overall, the car appears well-maintained, but its light use demands scrutiny for age-related deterioration over operational wear.
