2016 Hyundai I10 1.2L Petrol · EF16 AAO

The most recent MOT on 9 April 2026 records a pass at 69,199 miles, yet the same day a failure was logged at 69,197 miles for rear brake disc wear, pitting and inner pad thickness below the 1.5 mm limit. The immediate reversal of a pass into a fail signals a deteriorating condition of the braking system rather than a stable maintenance pattern. Tyre wear advisories on the nearside front, offside front and nearside rear also appear for the first time at this test, indicating that consumable wear is now reaching legal limits. Overall, the vehicle’s roadworthiness is borderline; while it meets the MOT requirement after repairs, the underlying trend shows worsening brake component health and emerging tyre wear concerns. Mileage accumulation follows a typical trajectory for a 2016 model, averaging roughly 6,900 miles per year over the past decade. The record shows steady increments: from 18,401 miles in April 2019 to 32,198 miles in August 2022, then a more rapid rise to 69,199 miles by April 2026. No significant gaps exist between tests, and the data is complete throughout the period. The recent double entry on the same date suggests a rapid repair‑and‑retest cycle, which may indicate that the previous failure was addressed promptly but the underlying wear was not fully resolved. The recurring brake disc pitting and pad thinning point to progressive friction material loss and possible heat‑induced degradation. The tester flagged offside rear brake disc wear and inner pad deficiency on two separate occasions (2025 and 2026), while front‑tyre edge wear on both sides suggests misalignment or suspension bush wear affecting tyre contact patches. A buyer should inspect the rear brake discs for scoring, measure pad thickness, and examine tyre tread patterns for uneven wear. Suspension bushes and steering linkage should be checked for excess play that could cause the observed tyre edge wear. Additional due‑diligence includes a visual inspection for rust or corrosion on the chassis, checking the exhaust for leaks, and verifying that the coil springs and trailing arm bushings are not cracked or hardened. The vehicle’s structural integrity appears intact based on the absence of frame corrosion advisories, but the combination of brake wear and tyre edge wear warrants a thorough mechanical review before purchase.
