2018 Hyundai I10 1.0L Petrol · SC18 VGU

The vehicle remains roadworthy as of its most recent MOT on 2025-07-22, with no critical or dangerous defects recorded. The maintenance trend is stable in terms of compliance, though the nearside and offside rear brake discs were flagged as worn and pitted — a condition that, while not yet structurally compromised, indicates active wear and should be monitored closely. No other mechanical or structural issues were noted in the latest test, and prior MOTs from 2021 to 2024 were entirely clean, suggesting consistent upkeep and no hidden deterioration. Mileage progression shows a steady, low annual average of approximately 1,540 miles per year over eight years, which aligns with very light usage. The jump from 5,374 miles in 2021 to 12,322 miles in 2025 reflects a cumulative increase of 6,948 miles over four years — a rate that, while not excessive, does coincide with the onset of brake disc wear. There are no signs of sudden mileage spikes or long periods of inactivity, and the record is complete and consistent, with no gaps or anomalies in the test dates or mileages. Buyers should inspect the rear brake discs in person, as their pitting and wear — though not yet critical — suggest they are nearing the end of their service life. The suspension components, particularly rear bushes and coil springs, should also be checked for binding or excessive wear, as low mileage doesn’t eliminate the risk of age-related degradation. The absence of corrosion or structural damage in the MOT history is reassuring, but a visual inspection of the underbody and wheel arches is still advisable, especially given the vehicle’s age and the fact that brake wear is now evident. Overall, the car’s mechanical condition is manageable and predictable, with no signs of systemic failure or neglect. The low mileage supports the notion of gentle use, but the brake disc wear signals that routine maintenance is now overdue. A buyer should budget for imminent brake component replacement and consider a full suspension inspection to ensure long-term reliability.
