2011 Hyundai I10 1.2L Petrol · AX61 FHL

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance trend shows signs of degradation regarding the braking system and suspension components. While it passed its most recent test in November 2025 at 97,062 miles, it had failed just two miles prior due to multiple defects. The tester identified failing rear shock absorbers and play in the nearside front suspension arm ball joint. The persistence of corrosion across all four outer brake pipes suggests that the hydraulic system is reaching the end of its functional life and requires preventative attention. The mileage pattern is consistent with a low-use urban vehicle, averaging approximately 6,500 miles per year over fifteen years. Between December 2023 and December 2024, the car covered 2,650 miles, showing a stable rate of use. However, the jump of 2,300 miles between December 2024 and November 2025 indicates a slight increase in activity which coincides with the appearance of mechanical wear. The low overall mileage relative to the age suggests that age is affecting rubber components and metal rather than high-frequency drivetrain wear. A buyer must prioritize a thorough inspection of the braking lines and suspension hardware. The recurring mention of corroded brake pipes covered in grease is a red flag, as grease often masks structural thinning that can lead to sudden leaks. Furthermore, the flagged nearside front ball joint and the worn nearside shock absorber indicate that the suspension is beginning to fail and may need immediate replacement. The buyer should also verify that the alignment was corrected correctly, as the 2022 advisory for uneven inner edge wear on the offside front tyre suggests a geometry issue or worn suspension components.
