2014 Hyundai I10 1.2L Petrol · SA14 XPL

The vehicle passed its most recent MOT on 17 July 2026 with no defects recorded. Reviewing the historical data, the maintenance trend is currently stable and positive. Following a significant failure in September 2020, the car has successfully passed six consecutive annual tests without a single advisory or defect. This indicates that the critical issues identified six years ago were addressed and that the vehicle has been maintained to a consistent standard in the intervening period. At approximately 105,960 miles over a twelve-year period, the vehicle has averaged roughly 8,830 miles per year. This is considered typical usage for a city car of this age and suggests a balanced duty cycle. Because the mileage has accumulated steadily rather than through long periods of standing, the engine and drivetrain have likely avoided the common pitfalls of stagnation, although the total mileage now places the vehicle in a bracket where wear on high-cycle consumables and rubber components becomes a primary concern. While the recent history is clean, the 2020 failure for excessively corroded rear brake pipes is a significant point of interest. You should verify whether these pipes were fully replaced or merely patched, as corrosion often affects the entire run of the line. During a test drive, listen for any unusual clunks from the suspension and check for uneven tyre wear, which could indicate that suspension bushes or coil springs are nearing the end of their service life given the six-figure mileage. Ensure the brake pedal feels firm and there is no shuddering under deceleration, which would suggest warped brake discs or binding calipers. Given the vehicle's age, a physical inspection of the service history is essential to confirm that all calendar-based fluid changes and major interval services have been performed. Check the tyre sidewalls for any signs of perishing or fine cracking, regardless of the remaining tread depth. Inspect the battery terminals for corrosion and verify the health of the 12V battery, as older vehicles can suffer from intermittent starting issues. Finally, examine the underbody for any surface corrosion that may have developed, ensuring the overall structural integrity remains sound.
