2010 Hyundai I10 1.2L Petrol · CP10 FLW

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the mechanical history reveals a worsening trend regarding structural integrity. While the most recent test in July 2026 at 40,805 miles resulted in a pass, it followed a critical failure just four days prior the previous year. In July 2025, the tester flagged the car for failure due to the front sub-frame being seriously weakened by corrosion. Although this was rectified to allow a subsequent pass, the persistence of surface rust across the chassis indicates that the vehicle is susceptible to environmental degradation. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a sixteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 2,550 miles per year. The data shows consistent low-use patterns, with the car covering only about 13,700 miles between July 2020 and July 2026. However, this low mileage often correlates with the oxidation issues observed, as vehicles that sit for long periods suffer from moisture accumulation on metal components. The lack of mechanical failures in the early years of the record suggests a simple life, but the structural state is now the primary concern. A buyer must conduct a thorough underbody inspection to verify the quality of the structural repairs performed after the 2025 failure. The record consistently notes corrosion on the rear sub-frame, suspension mounting points, and inner sills since 2022. Specific attention should be paid to the brake pipes, which were flagged as corroded and covered in grease in 2024 and 2025; the use of grease is often an attempt to hide active decay from testers. Ensure the front sub-frame is now structurally sound and that the corrosion on the sills has not progressed beyond surface level.
