2019 Hyundai I10 1.2L Petrol · SC19 SVL

The most recent MOT test conducted in October 2025 resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. Looking at the broader history, the maintenance trend is highly stable, with the vehicle consistently passing its annual inspections. The absence of major failures suggests a level of consistent care, although the few recorded advisories indicate that wear has been gradual and typical for a vehicle of this age. The recorded mileage of 21,578 miles is exceptionally low for a seven year old vehicle, averaging roughly 3,083 miles per year. While this implies minimal mechanical wear on the engine internals, transmission, and drivetrain components, such low usage often indicates the car has spent significant periods stationary. This usage profile shifts the primary mechanical risk from high-mileage wear and tear to degradation caused by standing, which can negatively impact rubber components and fluid integrity. Regarding previous advisories, the 2024 record noted cracking and perishing on both rear tyres, and the 2022 test mentioned worn rear brake discs. A prospective buyer should verify if these items have since been replaced, as tyre perishing is a common result of low mileage where rubber degrades due to age rather than tread wear. During a test drive, listen for any grinding or shuddering from the rear brakes, which could indicate surface corrosion or binding calipers resulting from infrequent use. Given the vehicle's age and low annual mileage, it is essential to perform several time-based checks regardless of the odometer reading. Inspect all tyre sidewalls for fine cracking and verify the manufacture date codes to ensure they are not overdue for replacement. The 12V battery should be tested for health, as infrequent use can lead to premature failure. Finally, ensure the service history confirms calendar-based oil and filter changes, as engine oil degrades over time even if the mileage remains low, and check for any signs of corrosion on the underbody.
