2010 Hyundai I10 1.2L Petrol · MT59 TNJ

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status, having passed its latest MOT on 20 December 2025 at 58,838 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, though a minor failure just one day prior due to non-functional stop lamps indicates a lapse oversight that was immediately rectified. Beyond this minor electrical fault, the car has shown no major mechanical failures in recent testing, suggesting the primary systems are remaining within acceptable operating parameters. The mileage profile is notably low for a sixteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,677 miles per year. Data shows a significant gap between January 2023 at 43,995 miles and December 2025 at 51,225 miles, indicating the car sat stationary or was used infrequently during this period. While low mileage generally reduces wear on the drivetrain and suspension, long stationary periods can lead to the degradation of rubber-based components and internal seals due to lack of fluid circulation. A buyer should specifically inspect the engine and nearside front area as non-excessive oil leaks were flagged in both December 2023 and January 2025. While the tester noted these were not excessive, the persistent nature of the leak suggests a weeping gasket or seal that requires monitoring to prevent escalation. Additionally, check the tyres for sidewall cracking or per, as the 2023 advisory noted perishing on the offside rear tyre and low-use vehicles often suffer from rubber age before the tread depth wears out.
