2010 Hyundai I10 1.2L Petrol · EA10 CEU

The vehicle maintains a roadworthy status, though the maintenance history indicates a reactive approach to repairs rather than proactive upkeep. The latest test in October 2025 at 80,480 miles passed without new advisories, suggesting the critical faults identified in the previous year were addressed. However, the trend shows a history of failing on avoidable consumable items, evidenced by the multiple failures in October 2023 and 2024 related to tyre condition, brake binding, and suspension wear. At 16 years old, the mileage of 80,480 miles is notably low, averaging approximately 5,030 miles per annum. The data shows consistent annual usage, with a gap of roughly 5,600 miles recorded between the October 2024 and October 2025 tests. This low mileage often explains the preserved state of drivetrain components, but it also contributes to the degradation of rubber components, such as the perishing and cracking noted on the offside rear tyre, which frequently occurs when a vehicle sits stationary for long periods or ages naturally. A buyer must specifically inspect the rear braking system, as the tester flagged the offside rear service brake binding in October 2024. While it passed since, the pitting and scoring on the rear discs noted in 2023 suggest the calipers may be prone to corrosion or sticking. Furthermore, the offside rear coil spring corrosion and the offside front Macpherson strut top bush wear reported in 2023 require a physical check to ensure no structural fatigue or excessive play has developed since those repairs.
