2013 Hyundai I10 1.2L Petrol · DX13 OJG

The 2013 Hyundai i10 presents a stable and improving maintenance trend, culminating in a clean pass on 8 January 2026 at 83,022 miles. The sole advisory recorded at that most recent test was front brake pads wearing thin, a routine consumable item that requires no immediate mechanical intervention but does indicate the braking system is approaching its next service interval. The vehicle has not failed an MOT since January 2025, and the resolution of the suspension defect identified in that earlier failure suggests the previous owner addressed the fault promptly rather than allowing it to persist. The mileage accumulation of roughly 6,386 miles per year is entirely typical for a city car of this age, and the annual test intervals confirm consistent yearly use rather than prolonged standing or irregular gaps. Between the January 2023 test at 61,070 miles and the January 2024 test at 68,956 miles, the car covered 7,886 miles, and between January 2024 and January 2025 it added 7,378 miles, demonstrating a steady and predictable usage pattern. The current recorded mileage of 83,022 miles aligns precisely with the January 2026 test, confirming the odometer reading is consistent with the documented history and shows no signs of anomalies. A buyer should focus the physical inspection on the front suspension and braking components, as these are the areas where the record shows recurring attention. The January 2025 failure for a worn nearside front lower suspension arm pin or bush, followed by a pass the same day, indicates the component was replaced, but the condition of the offside equivalent and the general state of suspension bushes and ball joints should be verified for even wear. The front brake pads flagged as wearing thin in January 2026 will likely require replacement in the near term, so checking pad thickness and the condition of the front brake discs for scoring or lipping is advisable. The January 2024 advisory for both front tyres worn close to the legal limit suggests the car may have spent time with uneven tyre pressures or worn suspension geometry, making a close inspection of current tyre wear patterns across all four wheels a worthwhile step.
