2018 Hyundai I10 1.2L Petrol · RF11 ACF

The 2018 Hyundai i10 has demonstrated a consistent roadworthiness record over its MOT history, with no defects or advisories recorded across all five tests. The most recent examination on 2026-02-03—just five months prior to today—confirmed the vehicle passed without fail, despite a curious duplicate entry (one pass, one fail at identical mileage). This suggests the car has avoided major mechanical or structural issues, though the near-identical mileage on the February tests warrants scrutiny of whether the vehicle was driven between those dates or if the record contains an anomaly. The trend remains stable, with no evidence of recurring faults or progressive wear patterns in the official data. The recorded mileage of 41,403 miles over eight years equates to approximately 5,175 miles annually, which is unusually low for a vehicle of this age. The gaps between tests reveal no rapid mileage accumulation—each MOT interval spans roughly 5,000 miles, with the most recent test occurring just 14,779 miles after the January 2025 pass. The lack of significant mileage jumps implies either minimal usage or prolonged periods of storage, which could impact consumable wear (such as brake pads or tyres) more than high-mileage vehicles. The sparse defect history aligns with low usage, but this does not preclude hidden wear from standing or infrequent driving, such as degraded suspension fluids or minor corrosion in underbody components. Given the clean MOT record, a buyer should prioritise an in-person inspection of high-wear items that are not routinely tested. Focus on the suspension—particularly the rear coil springs and bushes, which are prone to fatigue in low-mileage vehicles due to prolonged static loads—and the brake system, including rear caliper binding (a common silent failure in older models). Examine the exhaust system for corrosion or leaks, especially around the catalytic converter, as this is often overlooked in lightly used cars. Tyre tread depth and lateral wear patterns should be checked, as the absence of MOT failures does not guarantee they have been maintained. Structural integrity, particularly around wheel arches and sills, should also be inspected for signs of rust or damage, as these areas are vulnerable even with minimal mileage.
