2023 Hyundai I10 Advance 1.0L Petrol · PL23 WCX

The defining feature of this 2023 Hyundai i10 Advance's record is a single, minor defect that was rectified the same day: on 29 July 2026 the car initially failed its MOT because the windscreen wiper did not clear the windscreen effectively, a Major defect under test item 3.4 (b) (ii), before passing a retest on the same date with no defects recorded. This is the entirety of the recorded MOT history, and the trend is therefore as clean as a record of this length can be. A worn or perished wiper blade is a routine consumable rather than evidence of any underlying mechanical problem, and the immediate retest pass indicates the blade was replaced promptly. Beyond that single item, no advisories, no corrosion notes, and no suspension, brake, or emissions defects appear anywhere in the record. The recorded mileage of 8,630 miles over roughly three years equates to around 2,877 miles per year, which is well below the UK average. With only one MOT due so far (the first test falling at three years of age), there are no testing gaps or unusual mileage jumps to scrutinise. Low annual use on a car of this age typically means limited wear on consumables such as brake discs, pads, tyres, and suspension bushes, though it is worth noting that light use does not guarantee condition in itself; the MOT record simply shows no defects arising from the car's usage pattern to date. The odometer reading should still be verified against any service invoices and the dashboard reading at viewing. For a prospective buyer, the inspection focus should follow directly from the one defect on record. Confirm the replacement wiper blades sweep the screen cleanly and quietly across their full arc, with no smearing, chattering, or unwiped bands, and check the washer jets deliver a strong, well-aimed spray. Since the failure was rectified immediately, there is no reason to expect recurrence, but blade condition is a ten-second check worth doing at the kerbside. Beyond the wipers, the absence of any other recorded defects means the standard checks for a nearly new car apply: confirm the tyres carry even tread across their width, listen for any knocks or rattles from the suspension over uneven surfaces, and verify the brakes pull the car up straight without judder or pulling to one side. Given the car's age, it may also still sit within the remainder of Hyundai's five-year manufacturer warranty, so confirming the service history supports any warranty claim would be a sensible final step before purchase.
