2010 Hyundai I10 1.2L Petrol · YA10 OAJ

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on the available MOT history. The most recent test conducted in October 2021 at 69,562 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects or advisories recorded, indicating that the car met all safety and emissions standards at that time. However, because nearly five years have passed since the last recorded test, the current roadworthiness status is unverified and a fresh inspection is mandatory to account for mechanical degradation over a long period of inactivity. The mileage pattern is notably low for a sixteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,348 miles per year. The data shows consistent but low-intensity usage, with only 43,202 miles covered between August 2018 and October 2021. There is a significant gap in records where the vehicle covered 16,466 miles between October 2019 and 2021. While low mileage generally suggests less wear on the drivetrain and engine components, long periods of standing can often lead to the degradation of rubber components, seized calipers, and corrosion due to lack of airflow. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the exhaust system and underbody components. The vehicle failed in October 2020 at 53,483 miles due to a major exhaust leak, which was subsequently repaired, but the system should be monitored for further corrosion. Given the age and low mileage, the inspector must also check for structural rust on the sills and suspension mounts, as well as pitted brake discs and perished rubber lines which are common in vehicles that remain stationary for extended intervals.
