2010 Hyundai I10 1.2L Petrol · SL60 DXT

The vehicle currently presents a questionable roadworthiness status based on the most recent test result. The MOT conducted on 1 May 2025 at 55,484 miles resulted in a failure with no specific defects recorded, which suggests a failure on a primary mechanical or safety component that was not rectified immediately. Despite this recent setback, the maintenance trend remained stable between 2022 and 2024, where the vehicle passed consistently without advisories. The recent failure after a period of clean records indicates a sudden development of a fault or a lack of immediate preventative maintenance. With 55,484 miles recorded over 16 years, the car has averaged approximately 3,468 miles per year. This significantly low mileage suggests infrequent road use, which often results in less wear on the engine and drivetrain components. However, the data shows a consistent pattern of roughly 3,000 to 3,700 miles between annual tests from 2022 to 2025. Such low-frequency usage can sometimes lead to secondary issues such as seized brake calipers, perished rubber components, or fluid degradation due to the vehicle standing stationary for long periods. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection to identify the cause of the May 2025 failure. Because the previous tests showed no recorded advisories, the failure likely relates to a specific component such as the exhaust system, brake emissions, or a lighting failure. Given the age of the vehicle and low mileage, inspect the chassis for structural corrosion on the sills and suspension mounting, as moisture often affects stationary cars more than mileage. Verify that the tyres are not flat spotted and that the brake discs are not heavily pitted from rust during periods of low use.
