2009 Hyundai I10 1.2L Petrol · DN59 FPX

The vehicle currently maintains a passing MOT status, with the most recent test on 27 August 2025 showing an improving maintenance trend. While the 2025 result flagged a nearside rear tyre for cracking or perishing, this represents minor consumable wear rather than a mechanical failure. This follows a clean pass in September 2024 at 86,018 miles, suggesting the vehicle has been kept in a generally roadworthy condition over the last two years. The recorded mileage of 87,238 miles indicates a low-use pattern for a 2009 vehicle, averaging approximately 5,132 miles per year. The data shows consistent annual testing with steady mileage increments, such as the 4,150-mile increase between August 2023 and September 2024. This low annual mileage often implies lighter mechanical strain on the drivetrain and suspension, though it can sometimes lead to the rubber degradation noted in the most recent tyre advisory. A prospective buyer should focus on the underside of the vehicle to verify the effectiveness of previous repairs. The August 2023 test at 81,866 miles identified a corroded offside front brake pipe, which required attention to ensure hydraulic integrity. Given that corrosion was flagged, a physical inspection of all brake lines and fittings is necessary to ensure no further degradation has occurred. The 2022 failure at 80,245 miles highlighted issues with the offside front suspension arm ball joint dust cover and a split nearside front drive shaft CV boot. Although the vehicle passed subsequent tests, these components are prone to wear. A thorough check of the CV boots for splits and the suspension joints for excessive play will confirm if these specific areas have been adequately addressed or if further deterioration is present.
