2010 Hyundai I10 1.1L Petrol · EF10 CFK

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history reveals a worsening trend regarding reactive rather than proactive care. The most recent test in November 2025 at 51,452 miles saw the car pass only after failing due to a damaged offside rear tyre and worn tyres. While the immediate failure points were rectified, the persistence of corrosion advisories on the rear coil springs across the last three years indicates a pattern where the owner is only addressing components once they reach the point of legal failure. At 16 years old, the recorded mileage of 51,452 miles is exceptionally low, averaging approximately 3,200 miles per year. This low usage pattern suggests the car likely sat for long periods, which often contributes to the degradation of rubber components and metal surfaces. Between December 2023 and November 2025, the vehicle covered roughly 13,00 miles, yet the record shows recurring issues with brake components and suspension corrosion. The lack of mileage means that the mechanical wear observed is likely driven by age and environmental exposure rather than high-mile stress. A buyer must personally inspect the entire suspension geometry, as corrosion on the front suspension arms and rear coil springs has appeared consistently since 2024. The tester previously flagged a binding offside front brake and pitted discs in 2023, suggesting the calipers may be seizing due to low use or salt ingress. Given the repeated failures for tyres with exposed cords and uneven wear, the current set of tyres should be checked for age cracking and proper alignment. The structural integrity of the mounting points also requires a close look to ensure the noted corrosion on the arms has not progressed beyond surface level.
