2010 Hyundai I10 1.2L Petrol · CA10 ACX

The vehicle currently holds a clean MOT status following a successful test on 17 June 2026 at 84,976 miles. The maintenance trend shows significant improvement, moving from a period of mechanical instability and multiple failures between 2022 and 2024 to a clean record in the two most recent inspections. While the 2024 failure at 71,180 miles highlighted several issues including parking brake inefficiency, tyre wear, and suspension corrosion, the subsequent passes in 2025 and 2026 suggest these defects were addressed effectively. The mileage history indicates a low-use vehicle, averaging approximately 5,300 miles per year over its sixteen-year lifespan. The data shows consistent, gradual accumulation, with the distance increasing by roughly 6,000 to 7,000 miles between annual tests. This steady pattern suggests the car has not been subjected to heavy long-distance driving, though the low annual mileage can sometimes contribute to the surface corrosion noted in the suspension and sub-frame components. A prospective buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the underbody and suspension assembly. The record shows a persistent history of corrosion, specifically affecting the front sub-frame in 2021, the offside front Macpherson strut in 2020, and various suspension components in 2024. Although the 2026 test reported no defects, the recurring nature of these issues means the structural integrity of the sub-frame and the condition of the mounting points require close scrutiny to ensure the corrosion has not progressed beyond the level flagged in previous years. Braking components and tyres also warrant attention. The vehicle has a history of pitted or scored rear brake discs and low handbrake efficiency, notably in 2018 and 2024. While the most recent tests show no current faults, checking the remaining thickness of the brake pads and the condition of the discs for uneven wear is advisable. Similarly, the frequent advisories regarding tyre tread and edge wear suggest that while the car is currently compliant, the owner should verify the current tread depth and alignment to ensure the vehicle is not developing the same uneven wear patterns seen in the 2023 and 2024 records.
