2018 Hyundai I10 1.0L Petrol · VA67 MJK

The 2018 Hyundai i10 holds a stable, improving roadworthiness status as of its most recent MOT pass on 18 June 2025 at 41,831 miles, with no recorded defects across the three prior annual tests, following a single minor advisory recorded in August 2022 noting thin front brake pads that did not recur in subsequent checks. No escalating or recurring mechanical issues appear across the full recorded test history. The vehicle’s recorded mileage is consistent with its 8-year age as of mid-2026, averaging roughly 5,230 miles per year, well below the national average for a vehicle of this vintage and indicative of light, primarily local use rather than high-mileage wear on consumables, suspension, and drivetrain components. There are no unexplained gaps in its MOT testing schedule, with tests completed at roughly 12-month intervals between August 2021 and June 2025, and no sudden spikes in recorded mileage that would suggest unlogged long-distance use or odometer discrepancy. For an in-person inspection, a buyer should first verify the condition of the front braking system, as the 2022 advisory noted thin front brake pads; check current pad thickness, brake disc surface condition for scoring or warping, and test for any binding in the front calipers that may not have been flagged during a static MOT test. Low annual mileage also raises the risk of degradation from long periods of stationary use, so inspect rubber suspension bushes and coil springs for perishing or cracking, check all tyre sidewalls for age-related cracking even if tread depth remains legal, and examine the underbody and wheel arches for corrosion that can accumulate on rarely washed, low-use vehicles.
