2013 Hyundai I10 1.2L Petrol · DX13 OJO

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history reveals a worsening trend of progressive corrosion across multiple components. While the most recent test in October 2025 at 75,846 miles passed, it carried numerous advisories for corrosion on the MacphPherson struts, lower suspension arms, and brake pipes near the fuel tank. These issues were present in 2024 and 2023, indicating that while the owner is addressing immediate failures, the underlying structural degradation is ongoing and accelerating. At 13 years old, the recorded mileage of 75,846 miles represents a low annual average of approximately 5,834 miles per year. This usage pattern is consistent across the records, with only 2,941 miles covered between the October 2023 and October 2024 tests. However, low mileage has not protected the vehicle from environmental damage; in fact, the recurring rust issues suggest the car may sit in damp conditions or reside in areas that accelerate oxidation regardless of mileage-related wear. A buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the undercarriage to assess the depth of the reported structural sub-frame and rear beam corrosion. The tester specifically flagged corrosion on the front sub-frame and spring cups in 2024, which are critical areas for vehicle integrity. Particular attention should be paid to the current state of the braking system, as the history shows recurring corroded pipes, pitted discs, and worn pads that previously caused a failure. The suspension also requires close scrutiny following the 2023 failure due to an excessively worn offside front suspension arm ball joint and a perished dust cover. Given the persistent advisories for corrosion on the Macpherson struts and suspension arms, the buyer should verify that the rust has not progressed into structural thinning that would require expensive component replacement. The previous oil leak from a corroded oil filter noted in 2024 should also be checked to ensure the repair was effective.
