2010 Hyundai I10 1.2L Petrol · RJ59 XFS

The vehicle remains in a roadworthy condition with a stable maintenance trend over recent years. The most recent MOT conducted on 5 December 2025 at 20,880 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, despite an initial failure on the same day that listed no faults. This suggests a potential administrative error or a minor issue that was rectified immediately, as the vehicle has maintained a clean record across the last four consecutive annual tests. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a sixteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 1,300 miles per year. Between November 2022 at 15,046 miles and December 2024 at 18,041 miles, the car covered only 2,995 miles over two years. The subsequent interval of 2,839 miles between late 2024 and late 2025 indicates consistent, low-intensity usage. While this reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine, long periods of standing can lead to degradation of rubber components and fluid breakdown rather than mechanical fatigue. A buyer should physically inspect the vehicle for signs of age-related degradation rather than mileage-related wear. Check the brake discs for surface corrosion or pitting as low-use vehicles often suffer from seized calipers or rotors. Examine the suspension bushes and tyres for cracking or dry rot, which occurs regardless of low tread depth. Given the age of the Hyundai, a thorough check of the structural integrity around the underside and sills is necessary to ensure that hidden corrosion has not developed despite the clean MOT history.
