2009 Hyundai I10 1.2L Petrol · PF09 TVY

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on the most recent testing data. The latest MOT test conducted on 18 December 2023 at 79,309 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded, following an initial failure on the same day. This pattern suggests that the owner is proactive in rectifying immediate issues to ensure compliance. Since the 2021 test, the vehicle has maintained a clean record of passes without recurring advisory notes. The mileage profile is notably low for a seventeen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,665 miles per year. Between the December 2021 test at 71,557 miles and the December 2022 test at 74,266 miles, the car covered only 2,709 miles. This consistent low-usage pattern indicates minimal wear on drivetrain components and engine internals. However, the intervals between tests show potential age-related degradation, as low-distance driving can lead to the hardening of rubber components and fluid stagnation despite low mileage. A prospective buyer should focus their physical inspection on components prone to perish with age despite low use. While the MOT history shows no structural rust or mechanical failures, the age of the vehicle necessitates a close look at suspension bushes and coil springs for cracking or fatigue. Inspect the brake system for signs of pitting or seized calipers, as long periods of standing often cause corrosion on discs and rotors. Checking the tyres for sidewall cracking is also vital, as low tread depth may mask the actual age of the rubber compound.
