2018 Hyundai I10 1.0L Petrol · SC18 VGO

The vehicle remains roadworthy as of its most recent MOT on 2026-03-13, with no defects recorded at 23,659 miles. The maintenance trend is stable — all five consecutive annual tests from 2022 to 2026 passed without issue, indicating consistent care and no emerging mechanical or structural concerns. No advisories or minor faults were flagged, suggesting the owner has maintained the car to a standard that meets current UK roadworthiness requirements. Mileage progression shows a very low annual rate — approximately 2,957 miles per year over eight years — which aligns with the vehicle’s age and suggests minimal usage. The recorded mileage increased from 22,046 miles in March 2022 to 23,659 miles in March 2026, a gain of just 1,613 miles over four years. This slow accumulation implies the car has likely spent considerable time stationary or driven infrequently, which can lead to dry rot in rubber components, battery degradation, or seized mechanisms if not regularly operated. There are no gaps or anomalies in the MOT record — each test was conducted within the required 12-month window, and no mileage jumps suggest tampering or misreporting. Despite the clean MOT history, a buyer should inspect the suspension components closely — particularly the bushes and coil springs — as low mileage often masks wear from inactivity rather than actual mechanical health. Brake systems should be checked for binding calipers or uneven pad wear, since infrequent use can cause corrosion or sticking. The exhaust and underbody should be examined for early signs of rust, especially around the rear subframe and wheel arches, as moisture can accumulate in low-mileage vehicles without regular movement. Tyre condition and tread depth should also be verified, as even low mileage doesn’t guarantee tread integrity if the car has been parked for long periods. Wiper blades and battery condition are also worth checking, as these are common failure points in vehicles with minimal use.
