2016 Hyundai I10 1.2L Petrol · EC06 ABY

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history indicates a trend of deferred maintenance regarding minor wear components. The most recent test in November 2025 at 52,028 miles identified a nearside rear brake disc as worn, pitted, or scored. While the vehicle passed, this issue follows a period of recurring mechanical defects throughout 2024, suggesting that the previous owner only addressed faults once they reached the MOT failure threshold. At 52,028 miles over ten years, this Hyundai i10 reflects a low annual average of approximately 5,200 miles. However, there is a significant gap in usage between October 2023 (32,376 miles) and September 2024 (47,487 miles), where the car covered over 15,000 miles in just eleven months. This sudden burst of activity after long periods of standing often correlates with the type of corrosion observed on the suspension and brake components noted in the record. A buyer must physically inspect the rear suspension assembly, as both the nearside and offside rear coil springs were flagged for corrosion in two consecutive tests during late 2024. Although these were passed as advisories, corrosion on springs often leads to structural failure if not replaced. The buyer should also verify the condition of the rear brake discs and calipers, as the history shows fluctuating service brakes in 2024 and surface pitting by 2025, indicating potential sticking calipers or surface rust from low use.
