2014 Hyundai I10 1.2L Petrol · NG63 FFR

The Hyundai i10 has maintained a consistent MOT pass record since its most recent test on January 14, 2026, at 40,491 miles, with no defects or advisories recorded. This suggests the vehicle has undergone regular servicing and has not encountered any major mechanical or structural issues during the past six months. The absence of recurring faults—such as repeated failures on brakes, suspension, or emissions—indicates a stable maintenance history, though the lack of advisories in prior tests means no pre-existing conditions were flagged for attention. The most recent pass confirms the vehicle remains roadworthy under current DVSA standards, but a thorough independent inspection remains essential to verify hidden wear or deferred maintenance. The recorded mileage of 40,491 miles over approximately 12 years—roughly 3,374 miles annually—is unusually low for a vehicle of this age, implying either minimal usage or prolonged periods of inactivity. The gap between tests is consistent at one year, with no abrupt spikes or drops in mileage between January 2023 and January 2026. The single failure on January 4, 2023, at 32,959 miles was unusual, as it occurred on the same day as the preceding pass, suggesting either a test centre error or a minor oversight that did not require repair. This pattern does not indicate aggressive driving but may reflect limited exposure to wear, potentially masking deeper issues like fluid leaks or corrosion that could develop over time. Given the clean MOT history, a buyer should prioritise an inspection of suspension components—particularly rear bushes and coil springs—due to the vehicle’s age and low mileage, as these can degrade even with minimal use. The brakes, while never failed, should be checked for uneven wear, binding calipers, or corrosion on the rear discs, as binding was not explicitly ruled out in past tests. Tyre tread depth, despite no recorded failures, warrants verification, as the 2023 failure on the same mileage suggests past neglect. Structural integrity, especially around wheel arches and sills, must be examined for corrosion, as this is a common silent failure in older Hyundai models. Finally, fluid levels—brake, power steering, and coolant—should be confirmed as up-to-date, as their condition cannot be inferred from the MOT record alone.
