2010 Hyundai I10 1.2L Petrol · AO60 AEE

The vehicle is currently road‑worthy, having passed the 18 May 2026 MOT at 176 659 miles with only slight play noted on both nearside and offside front anti‑roll bar linkage ball joints. Earlier failures on rear brake discs and corroded brake pipes have not recurred in the latest test, indicating a stabilising trend after the 2025‑05‑16 failure and the 2020‑05‑21 failure on the front anti‑roll bar ball joint. Mileage has risen from 27 719 miles in September 2014 to 176 659 miles in August 2026, averaging roughly 11 000 miles per year. Annual MOTs show a consistent recording cadence, with no prolonged gaps that would suggest periods of neglect. The incremental increases – for example 31 427 miles in May 2015, 49 543 miles in May 2016 and 84 778 miles in May 2018 – align with typical usage for a vehicle of this age. A prospective buyer should focus on the rear braking system, confirming that the discs are free of excessive scoring and that both rear brake pipes are free of corrosion or grease build‑up, as these items have been flagged repeatedly (2023‑05‑18, 2024‑05‑16, 2025‑05‑16). Inspection of the front anti‑roll bar linkage ball joints for wear beyond slight play is advisable, given the recurring notes in 2020‑05‑21 and 2026‑05‑18. The steering rack, which exhibited internal play in 2019‑05‑21 and a knocking sensation in 2017‑05‑23, warrants a tactile check for any emerging binding or looseness. Finally, a visual survey for any emerging structural rust, particularly around the rear brake pipe housings, will confirm that past corrosion issues have been fully resolved.
