2017 Hyundai I10 1.0L Petrol · DS67 MXR

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a worsening condition regarding braking components and rubber elements. The most recent test in December 2025 at 42,185 miles identified binding brakes on both the nearside and offside rear corners, alongside deteriorated rear pad material. Furthermore, the rear brake discs showed signs of pitting, scoring, and evidence of excessive heat. This indicates that the braking system is suffering from prolonged corrosion or mechanical sticking that has not been fully addressed despite previous advisories. The mileage profile is notably low for a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,687 miles per year. Between December 2022 at 32,007 miles and December 2025 at 42,185 miles, the car covered 10,178 miles. While this low usage suggests less mechanical strain, it explains the recurring degradation of rubber components. The repeated flags for cracking and perishing tyre sidewalls across multiple years suggest the tyres are reaching the end of their structural life due to age and dry rot rather than tread wear. A buyer must personally inspect the rear braking system to ensure the binding calipers have been rectified and the discs and pads replaced. The evidence of heat damage in the 2025 report suggests a caliper may be seizing, which requires a thorough check. Additionally, the tyre pressure monitoring system has been a persistent issue since at least 2022 and requires a diagnostic check. Given the history of perishing rubber, all four tyres should be checked for sidewall cracks before purchase to avoid structural failure.
