2011 Hyundai I10 1.2L Petrol · AD11 FWX

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history indicates a trend of reactive repairs rather than proactive care. The most recent MOT test in August 2023 at 80,235 miles resulted in a failure due to a damaged offside rear tyre and a worn offside front anti-roll bar linkage. While the vehicle passed the retest the following day, the persistent presence of a non-excessive oil leak noted in both tests suggests a long-term seal issue that has not yet been addressed. At 15 years old, the recorded mileage of 80,235 miles represents a low annual average of approximately 5,350 miles. This usage pattern is consistent across the recorded period, showing a gap of roughly 7,000 miles between the 2022 and 2023 tests. Low mileage suggests the car spent short trips; however, low-mileage vehicles often suffer from degradation of rubber-based components, which is evidenced by the advisory for perishing and cracking on the tyre in 2022 at 71,573 miles. A prospective buyer must conduct a close inspection of the braking system and cooling system. The record from 2021 at 63,004 miles flagged thin front pads and pitted discs, while the 2022 test identified corrosion on the offside rear brake pipe. The buyer should check for further corrosion on the brake lines and ensure the coolant leak noted in 2021 remains resolved. In addition, the anti-roll bar linkages and suspension bushings should be inspected for play, as the failure in 2023 indicates the suspension components are beginning to age despite the low mileage.
