2016 Hyundai I10 1.2L Petrol · RA66 PDV

The vehicle presents a consistently stable roadworthiness profile, maintaining a clear MOT record across five consecutive annual tests. The October 2025 examination at 50,371 miles stands as the most recent valid certificate, falling roughly eight months before the current evaluation date. This result mirrors every preceding inspection back to December 2021, confirming a stable maintenance trend with no recorded defects. The absence of advisory notices on suspension components, braking surfaces, or exhaust emissions indicates previous owners addressed consumable wear promptly and prevented minor degradation from escalating into structural faults. Mileage accumulation follows a highly regular pattern, adding approximately 5,000 miles each calendar year across the documented period. Tests conducted in November 2022, December 2021, October 2023, October 2024, and October 2025 all show steady progression from 34,840 to 50,371 miles. This low annual distance reflects predominantly short-distance urban commuting or infrequent use rather than sustained motorway running. Extended periods of storage often accelerate rubber degradation and fluid breakdown, so the clean MOT history relies heavily on consistent oil changes and proper parking conditions to prevent internal corrosion or seized guide pins. Buyers should verify that the paper trail aligns with physical reality by examining high-stress contact points that do not trigger MOT failures until advanced stages. Inspect the front and rear brake discs for scoring or excessive run-out, check suspension lower arms and anti-roll bar bushes for dry cracking, and confirm tyre manufacture dates to rule out age-related compound hardening. A thorough underbody assessment remains essential to identify early-stage salt damage around wheel arches and subframe mounting points, as these areas deteriorate independently of standard roadworthiness checks. Confirming service records alongside these visual and tactile inspections will establish whether the low mileage truly reflects gentle operation or prolonged inactivity.
