2015 Hyundai I10 1.0L Petrol · EM03 AND

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history reveals a worsening trend regarding deferred brake and suspension repairs. While it passed its latest test in November 2025 at 44,515 miles, this followed a failure on the same day due to multiple safety concerns. The tester flagged significantly worn rear brake discs, poor parking brake efficiency, and imbalanced braking across the rear axle. This suggests that components are only being addressed when necessitated by an MOT failure rather than through proactive preventative maintenance. At 11 years old, the recorded 44,515 miles represent a low usage profile, averaging approximately 4,000 miles per year. This low mileage pattern often correlates with age-related degradation rather than mechanical wear, which is evident in the record. Between November 2023 and November 2024, the car covered only 3,597 miles, yet it accumulated multiple advisories for perished tyres and sidewall damage, indicating the vehicle likely sits for long periods, allowing rubber components to dry out despite the low mileage. A buyer must conduct a close inspection of the offside front suspension arm, which has been flagged for a worn bush consistently since 2023 at 37,053 miles. The recurring nature of this fault suggests the part has either not been replaced or the previous repair was of poor quality. The braking system also requires scrutiny; the history shows a long-term pattern of binding calipers and pitted discs. Given the 2025 failure for imbalanced brakes, you should verify that the rear discs and pads have been replaced recently and that the parking brake mechanism operates fully without slipping.
