2008 Hyundai I10 1.1L Petrol · KW08 AEP

The vehicle shows a persistent history of structural and component corrosion that has worsened over time. In the most recent test on September 2025 at 50,526 miles, the car failed initially due to incorrect headlamp aim but passed after rectification. However, the tester flagged the rear sub-frame, front lower suspension arms, and both front and rear coil springs as corroded. While noted as not being seriously weakened, the recurring appearance of these faults from 2022 through 2025 indicates that the underbody is prone to significant environmental degradation despite the car's low mileage. At 50,526 miles, this eighteen-year-old Hyundai has covered very little, averaging roughly 2,800 miles per year. This low usage often leads to accelerated degradation of rubber components and metal surfaces through lack of use, which is consistent with the reported corrosion on the brake pipes. In September 2022 at 44,945 miles, the offside brake pipe was noted as excessively corroded and front tyres were at the legal tread depth limit. The gap between tests remains consistent, often exceeding 2,000 miles, suggesting the vehicle is used for short trips or sits stationary for extended periods. Mechanical attention should be paid to the steering system and braking lines. The record noted a slight knock from the steering rack pinion in 2021 at 42,815 miles, which has not been cleared in subsequent records. Furthermore, the corrosion on the brake pipes has been a recurring advisory point for the last four years. A buyer must perform a thorough inspection of the sub-frame and suspension mounting points to ensure the reported corrosion has not progressed into structural failure, which would require expensive repairs.
