2009 Hyundai I10 1.2L Petrol · AV59 VMK

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history shows a worsening trend regarding structural and mechanical corrosion. While the car passed its most recent test in November 2025 at 66,368 miles, it introduced several new advisories that were absent in the previous year. The presence of pitted front brake discs, corroded rear coil springs, and a corroded rear sub-frame indicates that the vehicle is beginning to suffer from age-related decay despite its low annual mileage. At 66,368 miles over 17 years, the car has averaged a remarkably low 3,904 miles per year. The mileage data shows consistent, low-usage patterns, with 3,144 miles driven between the November 2024 and November 2025 tests. While low mileage typically suggests less wear on the engine and drivetrain, the long intervals the vehicle spends stationary often lead to the degradation of rubber components and the accumulation of surface rust, which is clearly evident in the recent record. A buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the undercarriage to assess the extent of the corrosion mentioned on the rear sub-frame. The tester previously flagged the offside front suspension arm in 2023, and the recent report of sub-frame corrosion suggests that structural integrity may become a concern in the near future if not monitored. The buyer should also inspect the front brake discs for deep pitting and ensure the offside front brake caliper is no longer binding, as this was a recurring issue in 2023.
