2016 Hyundai I10 1.2L Petrol · RF66 VRU

The most recent MOT test conducted in November 2025 resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. Looking at the comprehensive history dating back to 2019, the maintenance trend is exceptionally stable. The vehicle has consistently passed its annual inspections with minimal issues, suggesting a high standard of general upkeep and a lack of recurring mechanical failures. With a recorded mileage of 56,131 miles over approximately ten years, this vehicle has averaged roughly 5,613 miles per year. This is significantly lower than the UK national average, indicating the car has likely been used for short urban trips or has spent extended periods stationary. While this results in less wear on the drivetrain and interior trim, low-usage vehicles are more susceptible to issues related to inactivity, such as the degradation of rubber components and the accumulation of moisture in the exhaust system. A notable entry in the 2021 MOT history highlighted perishing and cracking across all four tyres, which is a classic symptom of age-related degradation rather than tread wear. A prospective buyer should carefully inspect the current tyre sidewalls for similar fine cracks or a hard, glazed texture, as tyres can become unsafe even with plenty of tread remaining. During the test drive, listen for any uneven humming or vibrations that could indicate flat spots from standing or uneven wear patterns. Given the low annual mileage, it is critical to verify that the vehicle has adhered to a calendar-based service schedule rather than relying solely on mileage intervals. Check the service book for annual oil and filter changes to ensure the engine has been protected from fluid acidification. Additionally, inspect the brake discs for heavy surface corrosion and check for binding calipers that may have seized from infrequent use. Finally, test the 12V battery health and check for any signs of corrosion on the underbody or suspension bushes, as stagnant vehicles can sometimes suffer from accelerated oxidation in damp environments.
