2010 Hyundai I10 1.2L Petrol · SC59 KVJ

The 2010 Hyundai i10 presents a stable and reassuring maintenance trend, culminating in a clean pass on 23 October 2024 at 107,297 miles with zero defects recorded. That result is the most recent MOT entry, dated roughly twenty months ago, meaning the certificate expired in October 2025 and a fresh test is now overdue. The vehicle has passed four of its last five tests outright, with only a minor failure on 18 January 2024 at 105,560 miles for two simple electrical faults, a non-functioning nearside front headlamp on dipped beam and an inoperative offside rear registration plate lamp. Both were rectified before the retest eight days later, suggesting prompt attention rather than neglect. The overall trajectory is one of consistent upkeep with no recurring mechanical or structural defects. Mileage accumulation is measured and unremarkable for a car of this age. The recorded distance grew from 101,430 miles on 1 February 2022 to 107,297 miles on 23 October 2024, an addition of 5,867 miles across roughly two years and eight months, equating to approximately 2,100 miles per annum during that window. That is well below the lifetime average of 6,706 miles per year, pointing to lighter recent use or a period of reduced driving. No suspicious gaps or sudden jumps appear in the data, and the record is clean enough to indicate the odometer reading is credible. From a mechanical standpoint, the absence of advisories or failures relating to brakes, suspension, steering, exhaust emissions, or structural corrosion across multiple tests is encouraging. Buyers should still verify the condition of consumable items in person, particularly tyre tread depth and suspension bushes, given the car's age. The headlamp and registration plate lamp faults from early 2024 were minor, but a live check of all exterior lighting and wiring is sensible to confirm no further electrical deterioration has occurred during the period since the last test. An underbody inspection for corrosion around suspension mounting points and the exhaust system remains prudent on any sixteen-year-old city car.
