2014 Hyundai I10 1.0L Petrol · WG64 LXR

The Hyundai i10 has maintained a consistent MOT pass record with no defects recorded across all five tests, most recently passing on 25 November 2025 at 32,906 miles. This suggests the vehicle has been reliably roadworthy under test conditions, though the absence of advisories or minor faults means no red flags were raised by the tester. The most recent inspection occurred just six months ago, which is acceptable but not ideal—given the car’s age and low mileage, a pre-purchase check within the last three months would be advisable to confirm no deterioration has occurred since the MOT. The recorded mileage of 32,906 miles over 12 years indicates exceptionally light usage, averaging just 2,742 miles annually. This pattern is unusual for a car of this age, as such low mileage often correlates with prolonged periods of inactivity, which can accelerate wear from static loads on tyres, suspension, and seals. The consistent annual mileage increments—rising by roughly 3,000 miles each year—suggest the vehicle has not been left unused for extended periods, but the overall low total raises questions about whether critical components like brake pads, suspension bushes, or timing belts have been serviced proactively rather than being worn down by distance. Given the clean MOT history, the primary focus of a pre-purchase inspection should be the suspension and steering components, particularly the condition of coil springs, bushes, and track rods, which may have degraded from prolonged low-mileage storage. The brakes, though not flagged, warrant scrutiny for uneven wear or corrosion, especially if the vehicle has spent time stationary. Tyre tread depth should also be verified, as the lack of advisories in past tests implies no recent underinflation or uneven wear was noted—though this could change if the tyres have been left unused for long periods. Finally, inspect for corrosion at wheel arches, sills, and underbody, as low mileage does not preclude rust progression in damp conditions.
