2014 Hyundai I10 1.2L Petrol · DF63 GFV

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT in December 2025 with 93,441 miles and no recorded defects. However, the history reveals a trend of reactive maintenance rather than proactive care. While the most recent test was clean, the previous failure in late November 2024 due to multiple lighting issues and parking brake efficiency indicates that the vehicle is often only serviced when it reaches a point of failure or nears the testing deadline. The mileage pattern is consistent with a twelve-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,800 miles per year. There is a notable gap of over 12,000 miles between February 2023 and January 2024, followed by a rapid accumulation of 3,100 miles between November 2024 and December 2025. This suggests the car is used as a low-distance runabout but may have experienced periods of lower use, which often correlates with the age-related degradation of rubber components noted in the records. A buyer must focus specifically on the braking system, as it is a recurring mechanical concern. Records from February 2023, January 2024, and November 2024 all highlight issues with binding calipers, imbalanced braking, or efficiency. The 2024 test specifically noted the parking brake only just met efficiency requirements, suggesting the mechanism or cables are nearing their limit. A physical inspection should check for uneven pad wear and ensure the rear handbrake has been properly adjusted. The suspension and tyres also require close scrutiny. The January 2024 test flagged perishing and cracking across all four tyres, which is common in low-mileage vehicles that sit for long periods. Additionally, the history notes a severely deteriorated suspension ball joint dust cover and a corroded offside rear coil spring. The buyer should inspect for structural rust on the spring seats and verify the integrity of all rubber bushes and boots to ensure these previous faults have not progressed into more expensive mechanical failures.
