2009 Hyundai I10 1.1L Petrol · CP09 NHX

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a shift toward reactive repairs rather than proactive upkeep. The most recent test on 13 December 2025 at 56,819 miles passed following a failure just four days prior. That failure involved an inoperative offside front headlamp levelling device and play in the nearside front anti-roll bar linkage ball joint. While the car passed the inspection, the presence of mechanical play indicates that components are beginning to degrade despite the low mileage. At 17 years old, the recorded mileage of 56,819 miles is exceptionally low, averaging approximately 3,342 miles per year. The data shows a consistent low-usage pattern, with only about 5,600 miles covered between December 2023 and December 2025. However, low mileage often masks age-related degradation of rubber-based components. This is evidenced by the February 2023 test where all four tyres showed signs of perishing, cracking, or uneven wear despite low mileage on the odometer. A buyer should specifically inspect the front suspension components, as the anti-roll bar linkage has already been flagged as a point of concern. The binding rear service brakes noted in early 2023 suggest that the calipers or pistons may be seizing due to inactivity, a common issue for cars that sit infrequently. Given the vehicle's age, a thorough check for structural corrosion on the chassis and sills is essential, as the MOT record does not detail the state of the metalwork. The tyres also require close scrutiny for sidewall rot and cracking, as the tread depth is not the only safety factor for a vehicle of this age.
