2015 Hyundai I10 1.2L Petrol · BC07 THC

The vehicle most recently passed its MOT on 19 September 2025, although this followed an initial failure regarding the headlamp aim. While the MOT history from 2022 to 2024 was exemplary with no defects recorded, the most recent test indicates a downward trend in mechanical condition. The appearance of multiple advisories suggests that the vehicle is now entering a period of increased wear and tear, moving away from the stable maintenance profile seen in previous years. With a recorded mileage of 89,989 miles over an eleven year period, the car has averaged approximately 8,181 miles per year. This represents a typical usage profile for a city car of this vintage, suggesting it has been used regularly without prolonged periods of standing or excessive long-distance hauling. At this mileage, the drivetrain and engine should remain robust, but the buyer should anticipate the natural degradation of rubber components, suspension bushes, and dampers. Particular attention must be paid to the nearside front assembly. The combination of a distorted road wheel and a tyre worn on the edge strongly suggests a significant impact, such as a pothole or kerb strike, which may have compromised the wheel alignment. During a test drive, the buyer should check for any steering pull or vibration through the steering wheel. It is highly recommended that a full four-wheel alignment check be performed to prevent premature wear on the remaining tyres and to ensure stable handling. The report of a binding offside rear service brake is a point of concern that requires immediate investigation. A binding caliper can lead to overheating, increased fuel consumption, and premature wear of the brake discs and pads. The buyer should feel for excessive heat radiating from the rear wheel after a short drive and listen for any dragging or scraping sounds during deceleration. Additionally, given the vehicle's age, the service history should be scrutinized to ensure that brake fluid and other calendar-based lubricants have been replaced according to the manufacturer's schedule.
