2011 Hyundai I10 1.0L Petrol · EA11 LMF

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a reactive approach to repairs rather than proactive care. The most recent test in September 2025 at 105,098 miles passed with advisories for an inoperative registration plate lamp and both rear tyres being near the legal limit. While the car has passed its last two tests, the recurring nature of tyre-related and lighting issues suggests that the owner only addresses defects when they trigger a failure or reach the threshold of illegality. At 105,098 miles over fifteen years, the Hyundai has averaged approximately 7,000 miles per year, which is consistent with low-to-moderate city usage. The mileage data shows consistent intervals, with roughly 11,000 miles covered between September 2022 and September 2023, and another 7,100 miles recorded between September 2023 and October 2024. This steady accumulation suggests the vehicle has not sat stationary for long periods, which helps prevent internal degradation of rubber components, despite the age of the car. A buyer must pay close attention to the front suspension, as the offside front suspension arm ball joint failed in October 2024 at 102,043 miles. Although this was rectified to allow the subsequent pass, the repeated reports of uneven tyre wear across multiple axles indicate persistent alignment issues or worn bushings. The rear tyres have been flagged as worn to the limit in every single test since 2022, implying a pattern of delaying tyre replacements until absolutely necessary. A physical inspection of the current tyre condition and structural underbody is essential to ensure that the recurring wear patterns have not caused secondary mechanical damage.
