2016 Hyundai I10 1.0L Petrol · NA66 AAJ

A generally stable roadworthiness record is offset by a history of braking system wear, most notably a dangerous failure in November 2021 for front brake pads thinner than 1.5mm. This pattern of wear continued into October 2024 with further advisories for thin front pads and worn rear tyres. Despite these intermittent issues, the latest test on 3 November 2025 resulted in a pass with no defects recorded, suggesting a current state of compliance. The recorded mileage of 131,965 miles is high for a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 13,196 miles annually. Such a usage profile typically accelerates the degradation of suspension components, engine mounts, and drivetrain consumables compared to lower-mileage examples. The lack of gaps in the MOT history confirms the vehicle has been in continuous use, meaning the mechanical components have been subjected to consistent, high-frequency wear. Inspection should focus heavily on the braking system due to the recurring advisories for thin pads and pitted or scored rear discs. On a test drive, the buyer should monitor for pedal judder or any pulsation through the brake pedal, which would indicate the condition of the discs. Additionally, the history of tyres worn close to the legal limit suggests a need to verify the current tread depth and check for uneven wear on the inner or outer edges, which may indicate a requirement for wheel alignment. Given the high cumulative mileage, the buyer should listen for knocks or rattles when driving over speed bumps or uneven road surfaces, as this often indicates worn suspension bushes or failing coil springs. The steering should be checked for any excessive play or vagueness. Finally, a visual inspection of the underbody for any oil misting or leaks is recommended to assess the current state of the engine seals after extensive use.
