2014 Hyundai I10 1.2L Petrol · DX64 POA

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history reveals a reactive approach to repairs rather than proactive care. While the most recent test in March 2026 at 61,610 miles passed, the tester identified a damaged nearside front tyre and corroded rear coil springs. These issues follow a pattern of deferred maintenance where components like wipers, washer pumps, and exhaust systems are only addressed after failing an MOT test, suggesting the owner performs the absolute minimum legal requirements. The mileage profile is notably low for a twelve-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,134 miles per year. There is a visible gap in usage between 2017 and 2020, where the car covered only 4,220 miles over three years. Since 2020, the usage has increased more consistently, covering over 30,000 miles in six years. This low annual mileage often correlates with the degradation of rubber-based components and environmental corrosion, which aligns with the perishing tyre and spring rust noted in the latest inspection. A buyer must closely inspect the structural integrity of the rear subframe, as the prescribed mounting areas were flagged for corrosion in both 2022 and 2023. Although the tester deemed it not excessive at the time, rust on low-mileage cars can progress rapidly if left untreated. The braking system also shows a history of neglect, with offside rear brake binding and pitted discs recorded in 2024. A physical inspection is required to ensure the binding caliper has not seized again and that the current components are not prematurely thinning due to uneven wear.
