2018 Hyundai I10 1.0L Petrol · PY18 HWO

This Hyundai i10 has maintained a consistent MOT pass record with no defects recorded across all five tests, most recently passing on 10 June 2025 at 20,572 miles. The absence of advisories or failings suggests the vehicle has undergone regular servicing and has not experienced any recurring mechanical issues during its MOT history. However, the most recent test occurred over a year ago, which—while technically within the 12-month validity window—means the vehicle has not been formally inspected for roadworthiness since June 2025. Buyers should verify whether the current mileage aligns with the last recorded figure and confirm the vehicle has been driven regularly rather than stored, as prolonged inactivity could lead to minor degradation in components like tyres, battery health, and suspension lubrication. The mileage pattern reveals an unusual discrepancy, with a significant jump from 6,494 miles in June 2022 to 7,481 miles in May 2023—a gap of nearly a year with minimal movement. This suggests the vehicle may have been stationary for an extended period before resuming use, which could imply either infrequent driving or potential storage issues. The subsequent mileage increases of roughly 1,000 miles annually (18,563 in June 2024 and 20,572 in June 2025) are consistent but still unusually low for a vehicle of this age, typically suggesting either light commercial use, occasional driving, or possible odometer tampering that has not been flagged. The lack of advisories in any test does not preclude the need for a thorough inspection of high-wear areas that may not have been formally assessed. Given the clean MOT history, the primary focus for an in-person inspection should centre on suspension components, particularly the condition of coil springs, bushes, and shock absorbers, as these are not routinely checked during an MOT but can degrade rapidly with low mileage if the vehicle has been stationary. Tyres should be examined for uneven wear or signs of long-term storage damage, such as dry rot or embedded debris. The braking system—while not failed—should be tested for binding calipers or excessive disc wear, as brake fluid degradation can occur even with minimal use. Additionally, inspect the underbody for corrosion, particularly around wheel arches and sills, as rust can develop silently over periods of inactivity. The battery should be checked for voltage, as prolonged non-use can lead to sulphation, and the exhaust system should be probed for leaks or blockages that may not have been detected in previous tests.
