2016 Hyundai I10 1.0L Petrol · CA65 VWE

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend indicates a reactive rather than proactive approach. While it passed its most recent test in November 2025 at 67,549 miles, this followed a significant failure just four days prior. That October failure revealed multiple defects including lighting issues, a defective wiper blade, and critical braking failures. The fact that the car passed immediately after this cluster of failures suggests the owner only addressed faults when forced by the MOT tester rather than performing routine preventative maintenance. The mileage pattern is consistent with a low-use urban vehicle, averaging approximately 6,750 miles per year. The car covered roughly 6,300 miles between the November 2023 and November 2024 tests, and another 6,200 miles between the October 2024 and November 2025 tests. This low mileage generally preserves engine and drivetrain components, but it can also lead to corrosion on rubber components or seized brake mechanisms, which may align with the parking brake efficiency issues noted in the record. A physical inspection must focus heavily on the braking system, as it has been a recurring point of failure. The tester flagged parking brake efficiency below 50% in October 2024 and noted thin front brake pads in the November 2025 test. A buyer should verify that the parking brake tension is properly adjusted and check the rear discs for signs of excessive rust or uneven wear. Additionally, the previous headlamp aim and bulb failures in late 2025 necessitate a check of the electrical system and the alignment of the lighting units to prevent immediate future failures.
