2018 Hyundai I10 1.0L Petrol · AO68 DPE

The vehicle remains roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a recent shift toward minor neglect regarding consumable items. While the most recent test in September 2025 at 73,481 miles produced three advisories—an inoperative nearside registration plate lamp, a cut offside front tyre, and a nearside rear tyre worn to the legal limit—the car had passed without defects previously. This suggests that while the mechanical components appear stable, the current owner has recently deferred routine minor maintenance. The mileage pattern is remarkably consistent for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 9,200 miles per year. Between September 2021 at 27,512 miles and September 2025 at 73,481 miles, the car covered roughly 46,000 miles, indicating steady and predictable usage. There are no signs of long periods of inactivity or sudden bursts of high-intensity driving that would typically lead to seized brake calipers or excessive accelerated wear on the drivetrain components. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the braking and suspension systems given the recurring issues in the record. The 2022 test flagged thin front brake pads and worn front tyres, while the 2025 test noted a worn nearside rear tyre. This pattern suggests a need to check the wheel alignment and inspect suspension bushes to ensure they are not causing the uneven tyre wear. Additionally, the cut on the offside front tyre should be examined closely for structural damage to ensure it has not compromised the internal cords.
