2015 Hyundai I10 1.0L Petrol · EA65 HSL

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a recurring issue with brake-related components. While the most recent test in June 2025 at 76,983 miles was a pass, it flagged thin front brake pads and a binding offside rear service brake. This represents a regression from the 2023 test, where the car failed due to an excessively binding rear brake and poor parking brake efficiency. The persistence of binding brakes suggests a lack of proactive caliper or mechanism maintenance. The mileage pattern is consistent with an eleven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,000 miles per year. Between the June 2022 test at 57,492 miles and the June 2025 test at 76,983 miles, the car covered roughly 19,500 miles, indicating steady and typical usage. The low annual mileage generally reduces wear on heavy drivetrain components and the engine, though it can sometimes lead to corrosion on brake discs and de-degradation of rubber suspension bushes if the vehicle sits stationary for long periods. A buyer must personally inspect the rear braking system to ensure the binding issue has been properly rectified rather than just lubricated or ignored. The recurring nature of the offside rear brake fault warrants a thorough check of the handbrake cable tension and cylinder condition. Additionally, the discoloured side repeaters mentioned in two consecutive years tests are minor cosmetic defects but indicate a lack of attention to minor detail work. Check for surface rust on the leading edges of the chassis and underbody, as no structural advisories were recorded in the provided history.
