2009 Hyundai I10 1.2L Petrol · AV58 WKC

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a reactive approach to repairs rather than proactive care. While the most recent test in February 2025 at 111,433 miles passed, it followed a failure just three weeks prior for critical safety and mechanical defects. The trend shows a pattern where faults are only addressed once they trigger an MOT failure, suggesting that the previous owner performed only the minimum legal requirements necessary to keep the car on the road. At 17 years old with 111,433 miles, the Hyundai I10 has averaged approximately 6,555 miles per year, which is consistent with typical small city car usage. The data shows a steady accumulation pattern, with roughly 4,100 miles covered between the January 2023 and 2024 tests, and another 4,600 miles between January 2024 and early 2025. This low mileage generally mitigates heavy wear on drivetrain components, yet the recurring failures on seat belts and tyres indicate that basic consumable upkeep has been neglected between annual inspections. A buyer must closely inspect the braking system and interior safety. The tester flagged corroded brake pipes in both January 2025 and February 2025, alongside pitted and scored brake discs noted across 2024 and 2025. This suggests ongoing corrosion on the hydraulic lines which could lead to sudden failure if not monitored. Furthermore, the offside front seat belt progressed from minor fraying in 2023 to a significant cut in 2025, indicating material degradation of the safety webbing over time. Physical inspection of the tyres is essential to check for sidew damage, as the record shows multiple failures reaching the cords in 2023 and 2025. Given the age of the vehicle, the buyer should also examine the chassis for structural rust, particularly around the brake points, as the presence of corroded pipes often correlates with general environmental damage to the undercarriage.
