2022 Hyundai I10 Premium MPI Auto 1.2L Petrol · VU22 OGG

The most recent MOT test conducted on 5 March 2026 resulted in a pass with no recorded defects. This follows a successful test in February 2025 which also showed no issues. The overall maintenance trend appears exceptionally stable, with the vehicle consistently meeting the required safety and environmental standards without any history of structural or mechanical failures or recorded advisories. The vehicle has covered only 3,767 miles in approximately four years, which equates to an average annual usage of roughly 942 miles. This is significantly lower than the UK national average and suggests very light use. While this means there is minimal mechanical wear on the drivetrain, engine, and suspension components, such low mileage often indicates the vehicle has been subject to long periods of standing. This can lead to specific maintenance concerns, such as fluid degradation or component seizure, which are not always highlighted by a standard MOT certificate. Because the MOT history is clean and the mileage is so low, the inspection should prioritise age-related degradation over wear-based components. Pay close attention to the tyres, specifically looking for sidewall perishing or cracking, which can occur when a vehicle remains stationary for extended periods. During the test drive, pay attention to the braking system; listen for any clicking or grinding and feel for any brake shudder or binding, as calipers can become seized or discs can develop heavy corrosion from lack of use. You should also verify that the vehicle has adhered to a time-based servicing schedule rather than a mileage-based one. Ensure the service book confirms annual oil and filter changes, as engine oil can degrade and lose its lubricating properties over time regardless of distance covered. Check the health of the 12V battery, as infrequent driving can lead to slow discharge and reduced reliability. Finally, inspect the underside for any signs of surface corrosion or fluid leaks that may have developed while the vehicle was parked, and ensure all rubber seals and suspension bushes appear supple rather than brittle.
