2014 Hyundai I10 1.0L Petrol · DY64 XSD

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend indicates a shift toward reactive rather than proactive repairs. The most recent MOT test in November 2025 at 57,200 miles passed following the rectification of a deteriorated front exhaust flexie pipe. This followed a failure in October 2025 at 56,957 miles where the tester flagged both the same exhaust weakness and imbalanced rear brakes. While the immediate failures have been addressed, the appearance of these faults suggests that mechanical components are only serviced once they reach failure thresholds. At 12 years old, the recorded mileage of 57,200 miles represents a low-averageaverage of approximately 4,767 miles per year. This low usage pattern is consistent across the records, with only 4,140 miles covered between the October 2024 and 2025 tests. However, low mileage often correlates with age-related degradation of rubber components. This is evident in the October 2022 test at 42,728 miles, where the tester noted perishing rear tyres and low tread, suggesting the vehicle may have sat for extended periods or travelled short distances. A buyer should prioritise a physical inspection of the braking system and exhaust assembly. The imbalanced rear brakes recorded in late 2025 indicate potential sticking calipers or seized slider pins which are common in low-mileage vehicles. The deterioration of the exhaust flexie pipe warrants a check of the entire exhaust system for corrosion or mounting bracket wear that may lead to future failures. Given the history of thin brake pads and perishing rubber in 2022, the current condition of all four tyres and suspension bushes must be verified to ensure they have not suffered from dry cracking despite the low mileage.
