2016 Hyundai I10 1.0L Petrol · NC16 ACZ

The vehicle presents as roadworthy following its most recent test on 6 July 2026 at 55,423 miles, which returned a clean pass with no defects. The maintenance trend shows signs of recent improvement after a period of neglected consumable upkeep. A failure on 8 July 2025 at 49,916 miles highlighted significant issues with the nearside front service brake, thin brake pads, and two tyres worn close to the legal limit, including an offside front tyre worn close to the cords. The subsequent pass three miles later at 49,919 miles suggests these immediate safety concerns were addressed promptly. The mileage history indicates a low-use vehicle, averaging approximately 5,500 miles per year over its ten-year lifespan. This pattern is consistent across the recorded data, moving from 16,470 miles in June 2019 to 55,423 miles in July 2026. While low mileage generally reduces wear on the drivetrain, the record suggests the car may have spent extended periods stationary, evidenced by the 2020 advisory regarding tyre cracking and perishing at 20,070 miles. The steady, incremental accumulation of mileage suggests regular but light usage rather than erratic or heavy-duty driving. A prospective buyer should focus their physical inspection on the front suspension and tyre condition. The 2024 test at 44,360 miles flagged worn inner suspension arm pins or bushes on both the nearside and offside front, indicating a recurring weakness in the front end assembly. Although the most recent tests passed, these components often require replacement as they age. The history of uneven tyre wear, specifically on the inner edges, suggests potential wheel alignment issues or camber faults that should be verified. The braking system also warrants a close look. The 2025 failure for fluctuating service brakes and thin pads indicates that while the immediate fault was rectified, the mechanical state of the calipers and discs should be checked for any signs of uneven wear or future binding. Given the low mileage and the specific advisories regarding under trays obscuring components in 2022, a thorough visual check of the underside for any signs of corrosion or fluid leaks is a prudent final step.
