2009 Hyundai I10 1.2L Petrol · VN09 EOZ

The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT certificate issued on 15 May 2026, confirming its roadworthiness following a brief failure two days prior. The maintenance trend appears stable, as the recent failure points were addressed promptly and successfully. While the car failed its initial inspection due to lighting and suspension component issues, the subsequent pass indicates that these mechanical faults were rectified to the required standard. At 47,090 miles over a 17-year lifespan, this Hyundai exhibits a low annual usage rate of approximately 2,770 miles. The mileage accumulation is consistent and shows no evidence of long-term storage or erratic usage patterns. The history remains relatively clean, suggesting the vehicle has not been subjected to high-stress driving or excessive wear on the drivetrain, though low-mileage cars often require careful inspection for age-related degradation of rubber components and seals. Prospective buyers should focus their physical inspection on the suspension and tyre condition, as these areas have triggered recurring advisories and failures. The recent failure highlighted deteriorated ball joint dust covers, which indicates that the rubber gaiters are prone to perishing due to age rather than just mileage. Ensure the steering remains sharp and free of knocking noises during a test drive to confirm the integrity of the suspension arms. Additionally, verify the condition of the tyres, as uneven wear patterns noted in the 2025 record suggest that the tracking or wheel alignment may require periodic adjustment to prevent premature replacement.
