2019 Hyundai I10 1.2L Petrol · CA68 ANC

The most recent MOT examination conducted in November 2025 resulted in a pass with no defects recorded, indicating that the vehicle is currently meeting the minimum legal roadworthiness standards. Looking at the broader history, the maintenance trend appears stable. While previous tests in 2024 and 2021 highlighted specific concerns regarding tyres, braking components, and suspension, the clean result of the latest test suggests that these items have either been rectified or are not currently critical. With a recorded mileage of 66,136 miles over approximately seven years, the vehicle has averaged around 9,448 miles per year. This represents a typical usage profile for a city car of this age, suggesting a balanced blend of urban and potentially some longer-distance driving. This level of mileage implies that while the drivetrain and chassis should remain robust, the vehicle is entering a phase where common wear and tear consumables, such as suspension bushes and brake linings, will require closer scrutiny. Prospective buyers should pay particular attention to the rear suspension and braking system given the historical advisories. The report of oil misting on the nearside rear shock absorber in 2024 is a sign of internal seal failure; during a test drive, listen for knocks over uneven surfaces and observe if the rear of the car exhibits excessive oscillation or bouncing. Additionally, the 2021 records mention pitted and scored rear brake discs. Ensure there is no shuddering under braking and check for any uneven wear or corrosion on the disc surfaces that could indicate binding calipers. A thorough physical inspection of the tyres is essential, as previous records indicate a history of sidewall damage and uneven wear. Check for any bulges in the sidewalls or irregular tread wear patterns that could suggest wheel misalignment. Finally, verify the service history to ensure oil and filter changes have been performed at the correct intervals to protect the engine. Given the vehicle's age, it is also advisable to inspect the 12V battery health and check for any signs of calendar-based degradation of the coolant and brake fluids.
