2016 Hyundai I10 1.2L Petrol · RF66 VOV

The vehicle most recently passed its MOT on 13 November 2025 with no defects recorded. Looking at the historical data, the maintenance trend appears stable, as the car has consistently passed its annual inspections without major mechanical failures. While there have been intermittent advisories regarding tyre condition and wear, the absence of structural corrosion or significant component failure indicates a vehicle that has been maintained to a basic roadworthy standard. The recorded mileage of 23,740 miles is exceptionally low for a vehicle of this age, averaging roughly 2,374 miles per year. While low mileage generally suggests minimal wear on the engine and drivetrain, it often indicates a history of very short journeys or prolonged periods of standing. Such usage patterns can be more detrimental to certain components than consistent long-distance driving, potentially leading to carbon build-up in the engine or the degradation of rubber seals and gaskets due to a lack of regular thermal cycling. Prospective buyers should pay close attention to the tyre history. The recurring advisories for the offside front tyre being worn on the edge in 2023 and 2024 strongly suggest a potential wheel alignment issue or worn suspension bushes. During a test drive, the driver should check for any pulling to one side or an off-centre steering wheel. A physical inspection of the current tyre treads is essential to ensure there is no uneven wear, as this would indicate that the underlying tracking issue remains unresolved and will lead to premature tyre replacement. Given the low annual usage, the physical inspection should focus on age-related degradation rather than mileage-based wear. Check all tyre sidewalls for fine cracking or perishing, as rubber compounds harden over time regardless of the distance travelled. Examine the brake discs for heavy surface corrosion or evidence of binding calipers, which frequently occurs when a vehicle stands for extended periods. Furthermore, the service book must be verified to ensure that engine oil and other fluids have been changed based on calendar intervals rather than mileage, and the 12V battery health should be tested as low-use vehicles are prone to premature battery failure.
