2013 Hyundai I10 1.2L Petrol · SP13 NWL

The vehicle demonstrates stable roadworthiness, with the most recent 2025 MOT at 76,032 miles recording no defects. Previous tests from 2024 and 2023 also passed without issues, indicating consistent maintenance. The single failed 2023 MOT at 68,476 miles noted no defects, suggesting a potential administrative error or minor technical glitch rather than a mechanical failure. No recurring faults or structural concerns are evident in the record, supporting the conclusion of a reliably maintained vehicle. Mileage accumulation remains unusually low for a 13-year-old car, averaging 5,849 miles annually. The 2023-12-05 failure occurred just 10 miles before the subsequent 2023-12-06 pass, raising questions about the test’s validity or minor unresolved issues. The lack of defects in later tests implies any prior concerns were addressed. However, prolonged low usage increases risks of corrosion, fluid degradation, and component stiffness, particularly in systems like the exhaust and suspension. A buyer should verify the condition of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake components, as low mileage can mask wear in these areas. Inspect the exhaust system for rust, given the vehicle’s age, and check for fluid leaks or dry rot in rubber parts. While the MOT history shows no critical failures, the sparse data and low usage pattern necessitate a thorough pre-purchase inspection to confirm the absence of hidden issues.
